Assuming your rehabbing the kitchen and bath, adding a bath, finishing the basement, painting, refinishing floors, etc My rehab cost would be closer to $60k-$65k.

She was renting it to family (Lesson learned) for the past 4 years, once they were gone we decided to go ahead and update it prior to selling, new bathrooms, carpet, paint, refinish cabinets, the works.

All 4 pretty much have the same issues, flooring crappy, appliances not working or barely, siding rotted out, interior doors missing or badly damaged, all need painting and sheetrock repair, I could go on.

For paint/materials and labor to repaint a 3br w/ 2 coats, about $1,200.

A good cleaner makes the need for painting much less.

I just steam cleaned the carpet, touched up the paint and home looks like the way when i bought it new.

I have found more mold underneath the counters and cabinets in the kitchen and she is denying it and I found proof that they painted over mold on the walls so they did know about it.

I paid roughly $500 total between repair and paint.

It gets you pumped again and helps you stay fresh.

I wanted to get the opinions of all the smart people on this forum on whether the rest of the stained drywall really ought to be removed (to prevent further problems, e.g. mold), or if it would suffice to just to let it sit for a little bit longer (i.e. to make sure any possible moisture is dried out)  before applying kilz and painting over it.
