If you have the experience then you should become a broker and go for it.

I am an advocate for buying real estate and then just holding it. 

Then set aside the equity to invest outside of a primary home.

The mold is like surface mold that can be cleaned with a household cleaning solution and a wet cloth, then dry the space out.

Then make foundation/roof repairs one at a time.

When I say "ask the questions" i mean literally ask the prospective tenant, you will be able to get a feel for them if they are witholding or being decietful, Then go with your gut feeling.

For example, if you manage the rental yourself then you won't pay a property management fee.

If they still have to install kitchen cabinets, then I would wait.

Then talk to a qualified, professional QI like @Dave Foster.

My brother had access to the other $160K but ultimately purchased a 4-plex two months later using his own money instead.Currently, its written that if my brother doesn't use the funds then he gets 160k value from the estate extra, as I used my half already but then my dad suggested a 2% annual appreciation on that amount seems fair on the 160k for him, and now he believes it should match his home’s appreciation, which is roughly 5% per year.
