Thank you @Yaohua Li Do you have any experience with using any specific LVP? I would love to get some recommendation.

Thank you @Blake Maloney that helps. I will look into engineered flooring.

One other question for the BP Community, what home insurance company would you recommend for home insurance (This is a rental property)

Thank you for providing the feedback @Trenton Miller, I agree and most likely will do that. However I have a question on Engineered wood, I am reading that Hardwood floors are more durable since they can be refinished 4 - 6 times, so in comparison, is it still value to install Engineered wood, since they cannot be replaced? We plan on holding on to this property for atleast 10 to 15 years.

Thank you all.

Hey BP,

I have been following BP for quiet some time. We are finally about to make our first rental investment (hoping the offer gets accepted), which will be in the Bay area. 

The property is a SFR and is slightly dated,

- The carpets are old and have some stains

- Appliances are old but are still functional

- Door and Closet doors are old, but fairly clean.

My question to the BP community is:

- What is the most cost effective way to deal with the carpets?

. - Put down new carpets?

. - Lay down Engineered Hardwood?

. - Lay down Solid Hardwood?

I am hoping to laydown the Hardwood flooring myself, I do not have a ton of experience laying hardwood floors but I am fairly handy and have built the deck in my backyard have laid a stone patio, so I feel sorta confident :).

I will not be able to lay the carpets, so I will need to hire someone to do it.

- The Appliances. (Oven and Dish washer)

. - Should I leave them as is, or should I get them replaced.

- The Doors.

. - Should I leave them as is, or should I get them replaced.

Guys, does any one know of a broker that works with UWM in Bay area ? TIA
