@Josh BellerI definitely favor ceramic over fiberglass showers, looks much nicer and lasts much longer cleans up nice no comparison.

. -- I agree.I'm always for durability (granite, ceramic tile, etc.) as well and, although there are some great composite materials out there, having to replace things after a few years of wear-and-tear will be more expensive in the long run. 

The reality is that good tenants can make a so so property last forever, while bad tenants can crack your ceramic tile flooring, punch holes in your solid wood doors, and break your brand new windows inexplicably.

Carpets, Ceramic tile, remodeled bathroom (sinks, showers, fixtures), and new paint.

Wood floors are soft and scratch easily and would require refinishing with every new tenant where a better quality LVT with at least 12 mil wearlayer AND  A SCRATCH RESISTANT  FINISH like Aluminum Oxide or one of the newer Ceramic Finishes will last longer.

Last priority is cosmetic,  tub lime, replacing non-broken fixtures,  non hazardous cracked ceramic floor tiles (most cases consider just saying no).
