First Bathroom Rehab - Seeking Advice (Saint Paul, MN)

Hi BP Community,

My wife and I are rehabbing our bathroom in our first rental. We've replaced the toilet and have removed a small section of rotted subfloor with sheet vinyl flooring on top and replaced it with LVP. We have another 40+ square feet of flooring to replace, but we wanted to pause at this phase. The bathroom walls are falling apart and need replacing too, and we're unclear if we should finish replacing all of the floor FIRST or if we should replace the walls now?

Looking for a good rule of thumb here; assuming they both need replacing, walls first or flooring first with bathroom rehabs?

Also, what cost-effective yet durable material would you recommend for your bathroom walls? Sheetrock? Drywall? Ceramic? Tile?

I'd appreciate any and all suggestions, thank you!
