We are on the Missouri side so let me know if you want to chat about neighborhoods, strategy, etc.  

It's heart breaking to see mountains for trash laying outside every house in a neighborhood.  

Quality of flooring as with everything else...depends on your investment strategy (buy+hold, flip, etc), market, neighborhood, condition of competing rentals, what rental rate you're asking,...For typical rental, if you're buy and hold in a working class neighborhood, as had already been suggested, I use traffic master allure wood look alike laminate flooring.  

Obviously I can go help out in the damaged neighborhoods across town and see who needs help getting their home liquidated.

Hit me up if you're doing flips or buy and holds in the Eagledale area of Indianapolis.

I wish I were in your neighborhood.  

There are a decent amount of apartments in solid neighborhoods near where I live and near where I work.  

My goals are to buy properties in safe neighborhoods with solid tenants.

Also call landscape companies you see working in your neighborhood.

Good neighborhood.
