The Flooring Decision System is the reference we use ourselves before we spec a floor for any investor property, in laminate, LVP, or hardwood, whichever fits the job.
It's organized by flooring type, not by opinion. For each type, you get the buying criteria that actually separate a durable spec from a warranty headache, AC rating on laminate, wear layer thickness on LVP, veneer depth on engineered hardwood, tiered by asset class, from a C-class BRRRR where cash flow rules every decision to an A-class flip or high-turnover STR where a buyer or guest is going to notice the difference underfoot. Then it names the actual brands and product lines to source from, with the vendor, the price signal, and the notes that keep you from ordering the wrong SKU twice.
Five investor vehicles are covered throughout: C-Class BRRRR/LTR, B-Class LTR/Flip, A-Class Flip/Spec, B-Class STR/MTR, and A-Class STR high-turnover. Pick your tier once per property, then use the same lookup on every floor in the house.
One thing it won't do: talk you into carpet. We don't spec it for investor work, and the guide says exactly why.
$47. Delivered as a PDF you keep and reuse on every property.
