Moldy Smelly Dirty Houses

I'm in the market to flip homes in the Baltimore County area, as a result, I've been checking out some foreclosures and rehabs. I've started bringing some tools when I check out some homes. Some of them include a flashlight, pocket knife, and gloves. When on your own, does anyone have any recommended tools that they bring when they're evaluating and/or estimating rehabs?

In addition, some of the places can be really moldy and smelly. Do you bring masks to avoid mold spore contamination? Or if you have a favorite technique to mask the smells, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
