First though, we'd like to up the value of the house by remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms, also replacing the carpet and vinyl floors for hardwood.

Formica, sheet vinyl, carpet, old white applianes? 

New kitchen cabinets and counters at Home Depot, new vinyl plank floors, new 3 piece bathroom kit, new tiles, new vanity, new paint. 

Thankfully plumbers are using pvc and other plastics these days so if you upgrade, you'll be upgrading to something not worth stealing.

Of course I would refinish hardwoods any time I can; but I am now using a vinyl plank product that looks like wood. $1.19 (plus glue) per sq ft for product and $1.50 per sq ft for install.

I need to replace carpets, looking for recommendations on Carpet installation and quality to look for, and also for Luxury Vinyl Plank.

Should I do carpet, laminate or vinyl flooring?

For a rental...laminate counter tops, vinyl flooring.

Vinyl plank throughout except for kitchen which is tile.
