Avondale Rehab 101- Where to Start?

[Tomas Saenz]

Happy Friday,

I have been following BP on and off for the last few Years and this forum as well. Lot's of experience and smart folks on here. I am reaching for advice/tips/suggestions. My situation...

I purchased a short sale property in the Avondale Neighborhood a couple of years ago. Needless to say, I have been dragging my feet on the rehab of the property due to other projects/personal matters etc. however, no excuses it is time for me to put together a proper rehab project plan from A to Z including funding, rehab costs estimations, setting expectations for the work/milestones etc. The property is an older frame home that sits on a slab foundation. I have semi demo'd it however I am sorta stuck on where to start? I have not secured funding, established a proper project plan or design just yet. I would love to tap into this communities experience and ask how do you go about rehabbing a property? Do you have a check list, project plan charts? I am really starting from ground zero and my only experience was a rental duplex I rehabbed and flipped two years ago which turned out to be a solid deal/experience however I did sort of wing it. I want to do things the right way! any advice would be appreciated apologies for the long post. Thanks have a great weekend - Tomas Saenz
