Order of The Rehab

[Wayne Woodson]

As a wholesaler transitioning to rehabber there is something I have always wanted to know. Is there a certain order you follow through the rehab process? For example do you do demo on day 1 then day 2 is cleanup, day 3 is drywall etc, etc. I know the 1st thing would be demo and the last thing would be landscaping but what order do you follow?

The Book on Flipping Houses actually has 25 pages devoted to rehab scheduling, including discussions of dependencies, time frames, rules of thumb for scheduling, etc.

For those who aren't interested in getting the book, here's the gist:
