Everything in the house had basically been replaced when I bought it except the actual drywall and the furnace. New cabinets, new light fixtures and ceiling fans, new vinyl planking floor, new carpet, etc. Because the furnace is 21 years old I negotiated the price down so that I could replace it, which I plan to do pretty soon.
I ended up buying a 5 gallon bucket of kilz oil base primer and I'm just gonna primer and repaint the whole house. It's a pain (I hate painting) but it's only a couple hundred bucks.
The smell isn't unbearable or anything. I've had people stay here and nobody's complained about it. After you're in it for a little bit you don't even notice it. It's only when you come in from being away for a while. I suspect it was a lot worse before it was remodeled. I'm thinking that once I primer it and replace the furnace it should be good.
I'll maybe come back after I'm done and share my results, but it might take me a while
