I picked up a set of very nice cabinets that my uncle just took out of a kitchen that was only 7 years old that are going to almost perfectly fit in the space i have to work with. 

Ceiling texture removed, ozoner used, industrial deodorizer, kilz primer to seal, new paint, all flooring except tile in bathroom and kitchen removed, it had no heat ducting.  

Like you said, then that space can be available for your family to visit.

The first floor is a store front and the top floor has two apartments.

A little late on the reply but I own property on bay rd in bonita springs directly across from the gulf but I was able to have the owner transfer his floor policy to me.  

We did the paint, flooring, and baseboards ourselves.  

The trade offs are that the truck has an open, large bed and higher towing capacity but much lower MPG but the Hyundai Santa Fe I am looking at gets almost 30mpg and still has a good bit of cargo space with seats down and has a 5000 lbs. towing capacity. 

While the apartment is not high end by any means, it certainly is a more expensive rehab than one would do in a low income area.Paint and flooring materials used- Wall paint is Sherwin Williams Navajo White- Ceiling and trim paint is Sherwin Williams Ceiling Bright White and Extra White for the trim- Kitchen/Dining/Bathroom floors are TrafficMaster Quartz Stone Vinyl Tile- Living area/bedroom flooring is Traffic Master Allure Country PineOther upgrades done to the unit- windows are new- the entire bathroom was gutted to the studs and redone.- countertop is new- we painted the existing cabinets and put new hardware on them- in the 3 season porch we frosted 2 of the windows and then just painted the existing walls, ceiling, floor

One client looked at renovation loan, then just bought with 20% down, and after closing financed RTA cabinets, flooring, etc. on 2-year no interest loans, purchased custom windows direct from manufacturer, has licensed electrician and plumber helping him outside their job on weekends for much reduced rate, etc. 

I don't know how possible to de-contaminate a space with all of the tenants belongings in there.
