If you are about to flip a house and want input on general do and don't items, you should not be flipping a house. You are going to spend too much, even when being cheap on materials, you are going to get bamboozled by service providers, and you are going to want to grasp at all advice, not knowing which is the best. You should only be flipping a house when you have watched someone do it and feel comfortable and confident that you know everything you need to so you don't lose money. Going to the internet and asking for a list of everything you should and should not do means you are not ready.
