As such, the only "deals" typically require extensive renovation, because anything that is purely surface level retail buyers will likely outbid you.  

Most mold is on the surface and can easily be removed with a bleach solution or one of the many mold treatment products available.

On the surface, this sounds like a sketchy idea.

It barely scratches the surface. 

If you'd be willing to answer some surface questions about yourself and what the deals would look like, I could get you an idea. 

On the surface, the answer is obviously yes. 

We recently bought a property that we have found out within the first few weeks of owning it that is has VERY SERIOUS drainage and humidity issues and lots of previous water damage that the sellers did not disclose.

For rentals I typically prefer going with LVP flooring, affordable cabinets etc. but one thing I like to spend $ on is countertop as its used often so I will go with an affordable solid surface top. 

Most of the ones we won worked out ok, but one wreaked so badly of cat urine even after stripping out all the soft surfaces we cut our losses and sold it to a handyman unfinished who wanted to live in it and refinish it himself.  

I previously worked with a contractor to help with permits and drainage since there’s a possible wetland issue, but unfortunately things fell through between us and I didn’t make progress.
