Quote from @Jennifer Wood: Thank you for the reply. 

It is difficult to maintain, it scratches, it warps, it stains, it needs to be cleaned with cleaners made for wood floors, pets tear it up, it transfers noise, it shows wear patterns, etc. 

I recently placed in a class a unit (almost $2k/ft value) because it is beach unit and expect higher water contact (normally class a gets real wood).Carpet in common areas in short run is cheap but long run will cost more than concrete stain or LVF.  

.- The shiny new barbeque grill that you had the housekeepers place on the wood deck next to the railings.- That quirky, and warm, light switch that you didn't notice because you haven't been to the property in a year.- The shower that you noticed is awfully hot but failed to check into it more before you left.And so on. 

Check underneath the kitchen sink to see what type of wood is there (i.e. particle board, plywood, etc). 

Landscaping has the largest ROI (of about 200%), adding a wood deck or a patio will also provide a big increase in value (100% ROI).Add living space, consider converting attic space, finishing a basement, or repurposing a large living area to add a bedroom without expanding the home's footprint - this will give you an average ROI of around 75%.

After removing the mold risk and opening the walls we found moisture coming through the foundation showing improper foundation work done over time, including wood foundation being used in the rear.

Avoid putting in cheap items and put in more durable - tile vs carpet, mini blinds vs faux wood, lights instead of ceiling fans.

We haven't had big parties or anything like that or destructive guests (knock on wood).

I am in Broward county and it has been a very long time since we had a real serious named storm hit (knock on wood!).
