First Rental Turnover- What materials to use?

I need to turn a unit in my duplex for the first and I'm looking for some help! What kind of paint, type and color do you recommend? I need to paint walls, trim, ceiling and kitchen cabinets. Are there different types or finishes that you recommend for the different surfaces? Also, what other suggestions or tips do you recommend? I'm looking to create a process out of this and make fewer decision every time I turn my units in the future. The unit is located in a lower income neighborhood in Minneapolis. Thanks!

Everyone has opinions on paint brands and quality. Don't get the cheapest but most importantly don't over think it. Whatever paint you use try and use the same going forward. I have been using Behr brand from Home Depot because I have a large credit line (that gives me free gas). But mostly because my crews can get everything else for the house there also. It keeps my guys working longer and on the road hunting items less.

Paint color:

satin, silver bullet for the walls 

flat white ceiling

semi-gloss white doors and trim

This make the house really pop out from the neighbors.

Flooring- get vinyl plank throughout. You will almost never have to replace it once it is installed
