What can you tell me about bamboo or cork flooring?

How durable are each? How easy to install? How do the affect home value?

My son is putting in an offer on a condo that’s currently bank owned. The flooring was damaged by water. He’s verified independently that it was due to a water-main break in the street outside. So it’s unlikely to reoccur. He’s looking at what to replace the existing wood tile with. He’d like to put as much sweat equity into the unit as possible. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
