I am new to all this as well and can offer no deal advice but from the feedback I've seen/read the more details you provide and homework you do the more helpful the responses to your questions. You can make some calls to get a quote on the drains, find your local RE meeting and network to find people who can helpl you ie: inspection to find any structural damage etc. From all I've been reading if the approach is "I see this and this sooo I'm thinking of offering this" then you may want to get a more detailed/critical plan in place. Check out the calculators on here. Search any and all questions to see if they've been asked one, or in most cases, many times.
I'm fighting the urge to jump in head first myself. I am also finding that the more I learn the better my first deal will be. Twice now I've had to step back from saying "f it, lets do this" and be honest with myself that I am simply not armed with enough tools yet. But I am closer today than I was yesterday and soon I will take that leap.
Hopefully you take this in the spirit it was meant, my 2c and trying to be helpful. I wish you the best and hope whatever you decide to do turns out for the best!
