Looking for a general contractor for a single family home to install flooring throughout the house as well as painting and work on tile and tub in bathroom.

After re-reading your first post, there definitely are drop ceiling tiles in most of the basement which I didn't measure past. 

Duriung the off season they lay off.  

I'd leave the floors but if you hate them just float a floor over them.other ceiling options would be tin tiles depending on size. or gluing wood inserts to the mirrors and paint those.

The odd part is that the room entry is right off the front entryway where there's a tiled landing.

Vinyl flooring or tile?

My wife and I are laying the groundwork to start a new career as real estate investors.

Since I live in California, I will be hiring a managment company to take care of it for me, while I lay back and collect those sweet, sweet rent checks ;) Any thoughts on the property or the area?

If you are doing tile, use the same method by calling your local Florida Tile or Emser Tile showroom for tile installers.
