Newbie Rehab Advice for First Renovation

[Brian Tran]

Hello BPers,

I've been working on getting my first property and I am looking on how to educate and prepare myself for the rehab side of things. I'm getting an idea of what to be aware of while repairing, but I am unaware of the aesthetic side of things such as bathroom fixtures, flooring (style/color), counter tops, etc. I'm sure many investors have been in this position before, how did you happen to learn or work your way through this? Are there any sources to learn more about this? The only way I could figure is copying other comparable properties in the area but at the same time there's a lack of knowing the other countless options to choose from due to the variety of styles. 

If anyone has been in this position and could provide me their story or any advice it would be much appreciated!
