It will take more work than you think... expect 15 - 20k, mold is something will always comeback if not treat right in the beginning.

1. take all necessary step to find out what cost the flood, water pipe burst (easy fix) or foundation leak (tough luck), it must done before anything else.
2. gut all drywall 4feet up from the floor, and make sure no damage on anything above that.
3. rib out all insulation.
4. put a few dehumidifiers and fans around, try to suck all moisture out of the air.
4. treat all wood lumber and concrete floor, you can buy a sprayer and spray bleach concentrate to kill mold a few times, make sure they don't come back and seal with a mold killer at the end to save some money.
5. after all that, drywall and paint.
