First steps after getting keys?
Hello,
First time posting and also first time investing in a property on my own without any partners. I am set to close on my first SFH on 3/22 and I am using a hard money lender to rehab the place and then refi with a local bank once it is ready to rent. I have my budget in order and want to have the place ready to rent in less than 60 days. My question for anyone reading this is, what are the very first actionable steps I need to take once I get the keys? The place will be cleaned out and ready to start renovations. Do I focus on getting the exterior in order or interior? Do i order my materials and supplies immediately? What do I not need to immediately order? House needs drywall work, painting, flooring all throughout the house, and other cosmetic fixes. My uncle who is a retired GC will be doing the work and my BIL will be doing all the electrical work needed.
Any help on this topic is GREATLY apprecaited!
