Looking at Unifi's Website to get the home network up and running once I move in. I'm guessing I'll need atleast 3 AP's one per floor (basement, Main, and Upstairs).. and I'll need a new router and Modem since I'm leaving my current setup with who I'm living with so they continue to have access to the internet .

How big is the house. This is almsot certainly overkill.

@WrCombs You may not need the router, you could likely just rent one from your ISP (of course it'll be a piece of crap)

Yeah that many AP's is too many, 2 at most.

I have 1 UAP-AC-LITE in a ranch house that size. Not multi-story.

Gotcha.
I'm trying to make sure the people who are moving in with me have Internet access - One will be in the basement and one will ne on the second floor. -

I had an AC LR in my last home, a 1600 sq ft colonial, and it worked good everywhere. Mounted on the ceiling of the main floor.

If you really needed 2 or 3 APs it would make sense to put one in the basement and one on the upper floor, pointed up and down.

You are talking 1-wall (floor) passthrough and 30' max.
With a UAP-AC-LITE you stick it on the ceiling in the middle of the main floor.
But again, no reason to use hardware like this at home for noreason. Use consumer gear, aka Amplifi.

UAPs are known to not have a great donut shape above them, they are designed to go more downward... it's not zero up, but might not be great for the floor above them.

They work perfectly well above them. Can you backup that statement?

Only by what my associate saw with them in his deployment.. no personal experience.

More correctly, Ubiquiti optimized them to go down/out from the mounting point.
But they do work perfectly well "behind" them.
Here is Ubituiti's specs.
