Elisabeth Hernandez-Madrigal This site is amazing!

Thank you for the warm welcome @Elisabeth Hernandez-Madrigal !

(Like the name Mosses was in the movie, lol ).

From this post:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/70/topics/104083-getting-started-with-notes"Here's a good book to check out on Amazon: Performance Anxiety by Gordon Moss.

To try to  find good deals, try to find a house that have one or more of these items:* No window treatment* Gutters are broken/Falling off* Newspapers/mails on the door* Old/crappy paint that is peeling off* Roof with a lot of moss* Debris on front porchI would also recommend you to do some due diligence before you contact the potential seller (not only after you contact the owner?.

When you have "Straight Cash, Homey" (thanks Randy Moss) you get to spend it however you wish. 

The only thing we have on our side (kind of) is that the house we are buying had about 7-10 minor (water heater, potential mold in attic, faulty plumbing in sink, moss on rough, etc.. issues that the inspector called out. 

From moss growing between the shingles, to water (and possibly mold) in the basement, this one has it all.

I have some DIY ideas like installing water diversion gutters that have grasses and plants in them and I would like to create more green spaces like moss walls in my properties.

@Charleston Moss if you are new a rebuild is going to be very tough.
