A couple of years ago we were able to snatch up foreclosures in mint condition, but now it's a bit more difficult.

Living room has an offwhite berber carpet that is in like new condition and looks very nice with the exception of 2 places where there are stains.

I'm a full-time Realtor here on Maui, from Seattle, and I tell all my clients that my goal is to educate them on our values and provide as much information as I can about the property, neighborhood, historical sales data, current market conditions, etc.  

Using comparable sold properties with similar condition to your end product, within a 1/2 mile (sometimes a little further), less than 6 months old, within 20% of square footage, not crossing major boundaries ( high ways, school districts, city lines, etc).

FHA is just a guarantee that, provided certain conditions are met, can be placed on the loan to increase a bank's willingness to lend.  

Generally, in my experience, hard money lenders only loan 75-80% of the LTV in as-is condition.

They all had 3 br 2 bath condition is very good.  

There are multiple considerations here beyond managing reservations and cleanings and if you only have one property I think you will find it cost prohibitive and creating other challenges.

Houses are in very condition.
