Hi Fellow BP folks,
I just started to invest in C to C- neighborhoods in Wayne County, Michigan. I wanted to know what many of you all use for flooring? Looking for ideas and flooring that is durable that could withstand rougher tenants and is cost effective. Currently many of my properties have carpet in the bedrooms and hallways I am looking to put something in that wouldn't require me to replace every year or after every tenant (like carpet). If you guys have links to something at home depot that would be great. Also what are you all paying for install in your areas. I was hoping people could give ideas on a round number say 1000 sqft. Cost of material? Cost of labor? in your area. Thanks for all the suggestions in advance!

@Erfan Haroon, we just got a quote for "Tarkett 'NuGen' SPC Plank" at $2.05/sq ft. Now that was pallet pricing on 15k sq ft, but I bet you can find it for $3-4/sq ft. Call around to your local flooring places.

I picked up some Luxury vinyl tile from Home Depot when I updated. It’s pretty popular for flips and has held up well for the 3 years it’s been installed. It’s a DIY product
For a possible war zone like that id be tempted to look for a good auction mart / reseller and buy a pallet or two of vinyl plank in the best colour you can find.
