Affordable House Flip - What is a good carpet?
Have a ARV $100k house that needs carpet in the bedrooms. What is a good affordable option?
Most of the BP posts focus on the rental strategy (i.e. go with vinyl plank for durability), however, we just need this one to present well.
I have looked at the Thoroughbred II at HD ($0.88/sf), but do not want to install and it ends up looking TOO cheap / terrible.
I am thinking along the lines of new-build apartments / builder grade equivalent carpet?
Thank you for your guidance!

How large is his house? $5000 for bedroom carpet or $8-10,000 for vynil plank? I could have hardwood installed in an entire house for $10,000 in the expensive northeast. Have you gone to HD or a carpet store and asked this question?
