What is your Rehab Process?

[Emiel Barbosa]

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get into my first flip sometime soon. I was wondering what is the process of your flips to make it the most efficient? Which part of the rehab do you take on first and so on?

@Emiel Barbosa I do things in a slightly different order than @Moises R Cosme and @J Scott. I like plumbing rough in prior to electrical because if a plumber needs to reposition for some reason (like a drain hitting a floor joist) it is easier to have the electrician maneuver around that. If I am doing tile or vinyl (or laminate I suppose - but I never use laminate) I like to put it in prior to cabinetry. Yes, you are using a few more square feet of product but I think it makes a more seamless look and also allows for cabinets to be removed / moved in the future without much hassle - there is floor everywhere. Carpet last however. Just my two cents worth...
