That's why I'm thinking that the HML would be the best bet for my first go around although the more costly route.  

In a smaller, rental property like this one you can probably install a simple IKEA kitchen for about 7-8,000 pounds but add 60-70% if you hire a handyman to do the work.I have no idea if your rental or expense numbers are correct but local resources will be your best bet for that info.Hope that helps!

I'm a futbol (soccer) aficionado, love listening to music and like to spend spare time doing web and graphic design. 

For example in Indianapolis I can find owners of record using this web address: http://cms.indygov.org/MyAssessedValue/or this: http://maps.indy.gov/PropertyAssessmentViewer/

Is our best bet just to rip out everything and install plywood subfloor throughout the house and then install new flooring?

Might be too late now but your best bet is to attend one of the board meetings and plead your case.

I bet you get a lot I stares.

I think as a longterm hold it could be smart bet in the right location.
