For a fraction of the cost of hardwoods LVP serves up hardwood looks/feels and durability.

I know its a waterproof floor, however, ceramic or porcelain tile is more durable for a bathroom remodel and will last longer.

What type of paint and flooring do you all recommend for a rental property to make it more durable?

Thus far I've researched Speed Queen, which seems to be a reliable staple in the industry and markets itself on the reliability and durability  of their hardware.I'm just trying to get my head around the install an hoping to connect with someone who may have done such a project already  

They have all doubled already (some much more) and because they have very durable business models they will continue to excel in good times and bad indefinitely.I didn't neglect real estate either as I loaded up on price crushed REITs at the same time in my IRAs.

I’m sure other products are quite good as well but I find the price, durability, and aesthetic of Lifeproof very good and therefore have no reason to try anything else.Good luck with your project!

It's a pretty durable property with very little maintenance but with monthly association dues that will undoubtedly increase with time.

I'm sure there is some legitimate research that goes into their publication, but sifting between that which might have value and the mountains and mountains of sales driven BS isn't worth the effort.If I had to distill my approach it would be to identify the highest quality companies (those with a proven durable competitive advantage - see Buffett for all that entails) and then buy heavily into them as opportunity presents itself.Examples of three recent obvious opportunities would include:Post 2008 (2010 to 2013) - bought heavily into high quality California real estate at about 35% of Pre crash values.
