Ditto @Raphael Cuthbertson - this is truly a gift horse, doesn't really matter why, so long as it's not detrimental to your marketing campaigns!

Regarding the realtor, do they have access to this "historical" data which is otherwise restricted from someone like me without a real estate license/MLS?  

You most certainly can use a conventional loan with a few restrictions...you have to hold the property for 6 months minimum and the property needs to be in a livable state (so more of a cosmetic fixer as opposed to anything structural).

You are relying on the management of the condo association to do a good job, and risk running afoul of rental restrictions and financing restrictions. 

Too many restrictions, too many deductibles.

This is very similar to the 203K loan, but it is for investors and has a lot less restrictions.  

I am starting my first direct mail campaign and was wondering if my list is too small to start sending stuff out.

You can borrow money from it w/o restrictions as to usage, and you won't be subject to UBIT/UDFI for leveraged investments.

While you were deployed, there would not have been any restriction from him accessing the property to exterminate.

Conventional Homestyle is less restrictive and gives you a better overall value, in my opinion.
