water in basement on rainy day.

[Jim Vanhorn]

I looked at a home to buy and hold and found a small puddle of water by the back wall of the basement. there was staining about 2" up from the floor that indicated it is a known issue. so I investigated outside and found the gutter overflowing at the exact time location outside. and the clogged downspout coming off the gutter in the middle of the house and not on an end. should I be overly concerned or would a proper gutter and drylock in the basement solve this issue. other then this the house would cash flow well with some updating. by the way this would be my first investment property.
