1st major house rehab - 2 family

[Rene Bee]

Hi Everyone,

I'm inheriting a 2 family home that has been recently gutted. The house will need new interior everything - plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, walls, etc.  It is a big project and I am nervous as I have never done a gut renovation! I need to prepare for this project by getting informed.  Is there a book I can read or a podcast I can listen to that breaks down the steps for a rehab - starting with how to pick a contractor, how to prepare a SOW, what are the steps in the rehab (ie first you fix the roof, foundation , windows and exterior doors and then plumbing, etc.) , what work can be done at the same time (ie plumbing and electrical) etc.   When would I need to secure items for installation like the kitchen cabinets and toilets, etc.   I basically want to understand the process and prepare and make sure I hire the right team to help me.  Oh the house is out of state - which adds another level of stress!  

Thanks in advance!
