House Flipping Sequence
I'm new to house flipping in the Pittsburgh, PA area. For those who rehab homes for fix and flips, what are your preferred sequences for rehabbing a home? I want my first rehab to go as smoothly as possible.

Sorry, first and foremost I always make sure the roof is good and the windows are closed and not allowing access or air. I follow that up with securing the house and making sure the doors lock. Once I am sure no water will ruin the work I am doing I begin the project. I have been considering using alarms or cameras or something because I have had some issues with security, so I am looking for a security solution. Rehab houses are like advertisements that no one will be there after hours.
