Hi @Chelsea Brown and welcome to BiggerPockets!

Hello @Becky Brown If you need any help finding a STR, please let me know.

ALso pick a darker color like walnut brown, the core of the laminate is darker colored, so when the wear layer gets scratched it's much less noticeable when the top color is a darker too.Carpet is absolutely the easiest and most forgiving flooring, but, you will have to professionally clean it, it will stain easier, it will be more susceptible to bed bugs.also, carpet does not age well... and when I carpeted my units I found that we ended up having to recarpet every 5-10 years because the places wouldn't show well with 5-7 year old well lived on carpet, no matter how many times we cleaned them(cats and dogs were there, even worse).... with laminate flooring it's more like 7-12 years.Also, I approximate that you get a solid 10-15% more with "wood looking" vinyl, laminate, or tile.Just my 2c

@Kenneth Brown yes I am open to wholesalers.

It is way ugly dark brown splotchy pattern to hide stains, and is seen on most Craigslist photos in my rental neighborhood.If our higher end duplex needed carpet I would step up until I could get something not as ugly, but still cheaper than what I would put in my house.

Governor Brown signed an executive order because of the wild fires last year stating landlords in Ca cannot raise the rents more than ten percent in a calendar year.

@Jason Brown first of all, nice job on your first deal!

@Jason Brown You did it once why not just do it again?

You're going to get paid a hell of a lot more in the long run for knowing how to dig your own sump pit than you are for building up anyone else's fortune.Disclaimer: I went to Brown for grad school.
