Thanks,

Tim,

JR - If you are on a PC there is a link in the upper right-hand corner to the picture pages. Mine is the folder called razorback. On a mobile device come into the Q&A forum through the link at the top of the Mr. Landlord home page and you should see the same link in the upper right-hand corner. Best I can tell, you can't access the picture page from the mobile version of the forum, but maybe I'm missing it.

I'm not sure what thickness the plank I've used has been. I buy from a local flooring store that sells mainly to builders and contractors and I use something they have in-stock toward the lower price-points of what they have available - primarily Shaw products. I posted a fairly lengthy discussion about plank on August 2 in response to another poster's questions. Do a search for the subject "Vinyl Plank" and it will come up.

A couple of other posters mentioned Allure. I use Allure a lot as well and am very happy with it, but on a slab I can get glue-down installed for not much more than the retail price of Allure materials.

JR,

NO carpet. Have not installed carpet in YEARS! You'll thank me at your next turnover.

Carpet looks great the day you lay it and goes downhill every day after. Save up $150 per room per year to replace it. It is a stink magnet. I counted posts here for a month. In 30 days LLs made 31 posts about carpet problems including odor, urine, feces, stains, rust, rips, bad seams, edge metal, "tired" looking, wrong color, shampoo costs...

In the last 20 leases I signed I asked why they rented this house. ALL mentioned our homes were carpet-free. The other homes they looked at had drab, smelly carpet, or "grandma carpet". My Millennial relatives tell me carpet is like using someone else's used bath towel.

If the home is nice we use click lock real wood from Menards, $4/sf, lays quickly, no glue. It has a moisture barrier on the bottom. HARDWOOD FLOORS is "in" and will attract the better renters.

Medium homes get wood in the front room then Allure in the rest.

Lower homes get all Allure or painted floors.

When first moving away from carpet we laid lots of the 69 cent laminate from Lowes and it's holding up after several years. One NICE home has hardwood in the front room and 69 cent laminate in the bedrooms.

37 episodes of FixerUpper TV, including $100k renovations - not s SINGLE room of carpet!

Another great product would be Lifeproof vinyl. Click lock with an attached pad. Goes together very well.

I like allure, too. It's a good product.
