My market is no FL, but every house I have done has original hardwoods.

The old hardwood flooring may be in good enough condition for me to refinish and stain over.

Tenant and SFH resale do not go hand in hand.Your best option is to set it up now for tenants as I suggest and then do another reno to upgrade for sale.....possibly stone, hardwood and tile to maximise profits when you sell assuming they are appropriate for your market.

Were those hardwood floors already under that nasty carpet?

One is telling me to put in the floating engineered hardwood that will go throughout the first floor before anything else.

The genuine hardwood was more expensive than other alternative options, but HPZ requires the use of actual wood floors. 

Looking for a reputable hardwood floor installer in Memphis.

The valuation company consider a granite and hardwood floor replaced as good and those w/o as average.

Rewire, refinished hardwoods, new countertops, new paint, added a bedroom, put vinyl floorings in apartment.

So if your rehab says hardwood floors, appraiser is using hardwood for ARV.5.
