It's more durable and requires less maintenance.

Looks are second to durability for a rental.

Durability is more important than frills.

Porcelain is more durable, but make sure you buy extra tiles.

Labor is about the same for both.I like the durability of tile, but I don't like the dirty grout look over time and I'm not sure how easy it is to clean or re-grout.

My question is, what materials would be durable/low maintenance enough for rental but also 'fancy' enough for a flip?

Be sure to use a thicker size for extra durability, as well as laying down a pad underneath in order to ensure an even surface that will last longer.

It is a bit more difficult to work with, but it is also more durable once fully cured, and it is less porous (typically eliminating the need to seal the grout).I live in MN, and we have huge humidity and temperature swings throughout the year.

We're currently in the process of renovating a top level apartment unit in a 2 floor building and debating on whether to go with carpet for noise reduction or LVP for looks and durability. 

We buy appliances that are easy to clean, easy to repair and have a good track record for durability.
