Test all over including baseboards, just above baseboards, but get it in contact with the cement. 

If the commercial space was basically "roughed in" with A/C, cement floors, drywall, and a basic bathroom, could I save any substantial amount on the build? 

My biggest concern with this property is the yard is fenced in, but the fence along the backside of the property is one of those big cement walls that has a busy interstate on the other side of it.

Demo kitchen, install cabinets, install countertop, kitchen electric, kitchen lights, kitchen plumbing (including saw cutting cement to run water pipes and electric).5.

This reminds me of Engineering 101 The basics of hydrostatic pressure regarding cement with an initial high moisture content.

Brand AwarenessAlthough, number 3 I could argue is more important for future years and not so much right now as I'd more concerned with further cementing our business structure, working out systems in all areas of the construction, reconstruction, and rental arenas.  

Sprayed all the the cement island for weeds.Thanks!!!

If you just need to patch some areas then get a $10 gallon of roof cement and apply it with a cheap putty knife.

Your post above simply reinforces again the misleading conversation I had on the phone.What really disturbed me and cemented my decision was the post by @Eric Tinsley on this thread. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/203379-do-hard-moneyFor ANYONE to take a $2000 deposit (I thought I was told $2500), and then tell the client the property they already submitted doesn't qualify is beyond absurd.

If you do not have a concrete floor, keep in mind that hardiboard, which is a thin cement backboard (or similar product), would be necessary to put down first.
