@Miriam B.yes Jack is currently a member of my land investing group so I communicates with him there and he answers questions about his training products and raw land investing in general when he has time.

Two after the GFC many banks left the SFR rehab loan business and simply don't have that product unless your a top tier depositor and I don't mean 100k in the bank I mean 7 figures so basically borrowing your own money.

Can't speak for AirDNA, but you don't have to have sophisticated software to know that Galveston is a great spot for a vacation rental.

I'm working on launching a STR reporting product designed to make data analysis accessible for everyone, even if you're not a data geek!

Most mold is on the surface and can easily be removed with a bleach solution or one of the many mold treatment products available.

But a sophisticated borrower who might have 100 of these or more and they are rented can just stop paying rip rents and then wait for the foreclosures . 

So you will almost certainly be liable for any defects or deficiencies in the end product regardless of subcontracts and sub-contractors. 

Both 203k and HomeStyle are great products, there is not a "best".

Why put effort into providing a product that (a) your tenants may not want, (b) increases your workload, and (c) doesn't line your pocket?

I'm in the retail sector, primarily value-add product with a great location but poorer performance than the market average.
