If we take this one we would do all of the work ourselves and plan to put in all new flooring, paint, new kitchen cabinets, new bathroom fixtures/vanity (already has a new jet tub) and finish the basement.

On textured drywall that often means scraping off paint and texture along with the silicone, patching, texture matching, and priming before paint.There are three types of caulk most commonly used in renovations.Latex caulk.

They are standard non-texture 4" tiles.

Having lived in the Napa valley for all the years I did I had a bunch of other Jet set friends.So I can name drop with the best of them... and what I can't still understand is what would someone like you be doing here.I know why I am here I got hammered in 08 to 2010 in the down turn.

I may just buy me a fighter jet.

You can subscribe to an online service like property radar/foreclosure radar and get statewide access to search every county for less than I paid for one county subscriptions 35 years ago.If you wanted to learn to fly jet airliners, you'd never ask a pilot/captain to give you free flying lessons.

I sprayed it with a texture gun and painted it.

I had already hung, taped, and textured 30 sheets of sheetrock for that project, so I hired someone to do the part of the basement we wanted done quickly, my wife's art studio. 

It can take a couple days to frame, rock, tape, mud, texture, trim out and paint a new closet and might cost $400 or more in materials.

While your at it, cover that brick fireplace to match your final exterior texture (stucco or concrete).IMO it looks like a great So Cal property to rehab with a combo of retro (50-60s) and modern elements, much of which can be done cost effectively.
