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. 

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

I say this because most people use a realtor to buy and sell SFH/4Units but a large part of the rental market is done without using realtors, which in turn makes the MLS obsolete as far as rent comps go in my opinion, but definitely still check it if you have access.

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. 

I have access to every residential property in the country

Sounds like it's time to get educated on the 203k and get access to more of these amazing rehab project opportunities. 

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

It seems like Sellers Attorney is trading space for time and there there has to be a reason for it.

My focus is retail and office space.

I am NOT going to buy custom blinds for this house so my two options are 1. install three standard sized blinds in the window to fill the window space OR 2. install a long heavy duty curtain rod and either put up some neutral (cheap) curtains or allow the renter to put up their own curtains.
