The building looked fine to me and the roof is 7 years old, but just the fact that they are witholding the financial information is making me think there is something else going on here.

You won't need a roof for 30 years, you probably have 6 years of life in the HVAC system, there likely won't be huge plumbing issues, etc.

Drywall is in, but it needs flooring throughout, kitchen cabinets/counters/etc, bathroom showers/vanities, new roof, and possibly new windows/sliders throughout.Any recommendations?

@Brandon Leong my experience when getting insurance is my insurance broker tells me what the coverage is based on several factors that I give to get a quote (I've gotten quotes for SFR and quads):1-how far from fire hydrant and fire station (she figures this out for herself since I give her the address)2-roof age and here in Florida, wind mitigation3-age of property4-is it in a flood zone5-she does a minimum mandatory coverage amount and then I tell her how much more in $$$ I want covered. this is based on how much will it cost to rebuild.6-the rental loss is included so I don't need to ask about that - at least for me it is, not sure if others have to ask for it to be included.7-what type of electrical and plumbing are in the house if it's an older home.Perhaps talk to a insurance broker and tell them what you have and ask them for a quote.
