Flooring questions for my first Rehab

Rehabbing a rental in Olde North area of Columbus, Ohio. The finished product will be to sell retail. It has original hardwood floors in need of some TLC. The floors have a fair amount of wear and tear as well as some sag from the age of the home. The square footage I'm looking to finish is about 500. My dilemma is this: Should I sand and refinish the original hardwood or cover with a new hardwood or engineered luxury vinyl?

@Marcus Hendren depends on the price point and if you think the sagging issues will be a problem for buyers.  If it's really noticeable, then I would address the sagging if it's in your budget.  You might have to determine if the wear is too deep to refinish.  500 sqft isn't that much, so it might be worthwhile to redo.  Go visit some open houses this weekend to see what the competition is selling to help you make your decision.
