I would definitely be removing some drywall, if only to see if the mold is on the side of the walls/in the insulation. 

I know the goal is the make money, but I couldn't in good conscience move forward on a property if there was any doubt in my mind about mold being present behind the walls. 

Do you know WHY the basement flooded? Leak in the foundation, water line leaking inside a wall on the upper floor, combination thereof?
