We decided to go with the vinyl click because it is extremely durable and waterproof.

@Alexander JohnosnI would leave the floor tile because it’s durable and won’t look dated with new finishes.

Anyone can do a rate and term refinance the next day, they just can't pull cash out.For a blog post or article to be "durable" (ie, still relevant in 3 or 6 years), it shouldn't be really getting into mortgage guideline specifics, since those change a dozen or two times per year.

It kinda depends where you are putting the flooring, Laminate is more real looking but not waterproof therefore you dont want it bubbling and peeling up but vinyl is more durable to water (kitchen, baths, basements) I think some are even scratch resistant.

Hey BP community, I’m remodeling a single rental, current floors are a mess and I’m considering laminate wood throughout (vs carpet or hard woods)Any feedback in terms of durability vs hardwood?

Looking back now and considering what i paid for the carpet installed (approx $2.5/sqft) I should have paid slightly higher and went with a high quality/durable LVP installation. 

It's pretty durable and has textured finish. https://www.lowes.com/pd/ProCore-16-Piece-5-75-in-x-35-75-in-Heirloom-Oak-Luxury-Locking-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring/1000389559

They are cheaper than laminate and should be more durable than granite.
