From wholesaler to rehabber! Where to start????

[Nikki Howard]

Hi Everyone! 

For the past year I have been wholesaling in Virginia. I have a house under contract now in Sandston that I would like fix and flip. This would be my first fix and flip project that I am taking on by myself. Where do I began?! I've had 3 contractors come out and 1 realtor to take a look at the property. I think I know which contractor I would like to use. Now what?! The area is not a high income area, so do I have to use top of the line appliances and materials? I want to get the most return for my money. What other material would you suggest I use for the countertops, thats not as expensive as granite? Any help that anyone can provide on what I should do next is grratly appreciated!

Thanks!
