Got my first house...what can I be doing to prepare for closing?

[David Robertson]

I close on July 5th on my first rehab project, what are some things that I can be doing in order to be ready to hit the ground running come July 5th? What do you typically do to prepare yourself for the rehab?

I have already established a preliminary schedule, I would like to walk some subcontractors through the house and get some quotes. Can I do this or do I have to wait until closing to walk the house with subs?

Thanks.
