@Louie Gabriel I was swaying away from laminate and carpet just because i would have to go in and replace/repair it sooner than I would want to.

Thank you for your input.

@Nathan G. Yeah I was leaning more towards this. It looks like the best option right now.

Have you ever used LVP? How much do you get yours for if you do use it?

Hey guys, nearing closing on my first investment property. The property is going to need flooring and paint.

In your opinion what is the best flooring for a rental? In terms of it looking stylish and durability?

Where do you get it from and price per sqft.

Also paint recommendations are welcome.

Hi BP,

I currently have my first property under contract with a conventional loan with my bank. I do not plan on living there for more than a year. I will be making it a rental but I would like to have some room mates to help pay the mortgage while I live there.

My questions are if i do find roommates, do I do a lease agreement like a regular rental? Am I allowed to rent my rooms legally immediately after purchasing the property?
