Bedroom Floors--Vinyl or Carpet?

[Jody Schnurrenberger]

I'm rehabbing some properties I own, but this is my first time.  I had selected a floating, interlocking, faux wood plank vinyl flooring for most of the duplex, but had planned to put a matching carpet in the bedrooms.  My realtor recommended using the vinyl flooring throughout the units.  I know I prefer carpet in my own bedroom and assume others do too, but she said using this type of flooring hasn't hurt her rentals.  I plan to keep these as rentals.  What do you think?

P.S.  They are Class B properties that have had no trouble renting.  They currently have vinyl flooring in most of the unit, but carpet in the bedrooms and living room.  I plan on putting vinyl in the living room this time.

Definatly vinyl. Keeps down your maintenance costs. Always business first.
