A traditional look calls for real hardwood floors - if you can get a good return on that expense.

The rotted hardwoods have been demo’d out, house is dried out, and the mold has been removed.

It needed a good rehab, but nothing major (carpet, paint, hardwood, appliances, wall-paper removal, etc).  

The termite damage was on the sill plate and joists that would have been very easily observed (there was a huge hole in the subfloor under the hardwoods) if either the inspector or termite inspector had gone into the crawl space that was acceptable from two locations.  

It looks similar to hardwoods, which appeals to many tenants.
