Removing tile to install laminate

Hello all, 

We are closing on a house on Monday and really want to replace the current tile, potentially with laminate. The reason being is most of the tile needs to be re-grouted and some large sections of tile are not adhered to the floor. You can here the thin-set crumbling as you walk over it. This will be our primary residence until the Army decides to move us again, then a rental.

We want to DIY as much as possible, but this will be our first time with this type of job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Tips on removing the tile and thin-set from the floor, and if this is even a good idea, should we just repair the tile? The tile is throughout the house, minus beds and baths.
