1st Property under Contract! Rehab work sequence questions

David Hald
  • Iowa City, IA
Posted

Hello All,

So I have finally gotten a duplex under contract! I am an overseas investor, as well, fyi.

Before renting, I plan on hiring out to qualified people the following work:

-re-glaze all 3 tubs, repair 2 tub surrounds, replace vanities/mirrors/light/fan/toilet internals in 3 bathrooms

-rip up carpet, evaluate wood flooring underneath, and either refinish it, or put down laminate on top

-repaint whole house inside

-professionally treat both apartments for bedbugs (revealed on seller's disclosure that they were there in May 2018)

-full house clean-out (previous tenants may leave crap behind)

My question is how do I order all this work to happen in the most efficient way possible, so that I don't have to, for example, pay professional cleaners to go through the house twice, or repaint after the tub re-glazing makes a mess of the bathrooms, etc. 

Any tips are greatly appreciated, since this is my first one!

Thanks in advance!

Dave
