Replaced the kitchen subfloor and installed LVP to match wood floors in the house.

We updated the flooring in the dining room & kitchen using an inexpensive wood-like tile.

Termites are biggest concern in Florida especially wood framed homes.

Thanks everyone for all of your input @Dan Weber, @Michael Picher, @Harrison Smith, @Jim Froehlich, @Caelan Houle, @Brett A Brockway, @Gillian Roy! 

My duplex is 40 years old and both received spot treatments for dry wood and subterranean termites about 12 years ago.

Thanks, Roy

A few other things you may want to consider.....Using steel instead of wood or, depending on location, using block.....You may save yourself a boatload of future headache (ie mold/mildew/termites don't harm steel)Building a non-traditional structure.....ie think loft in duplex form.....etcThere are a million ways to skin a cat.  

I explained the sale is happening, period, nothing anyone can do to stop it, but if they push things off, it's a bad situation that gives them 0 time, if they work together now, can have time to find place etc etc. 100% success rate thus far, knock on wood.
