First Flip help/ advice

Hi All, I’m very new to this world and need a little guidance. Long story short, I just got a home gifted to me and the home needs some work. The comps in the area are around 45-75k, but this home is in rough shape.

It is an old home (20s), 15 year old roof, solid concrete foundation, window unit heating and cooling and a combination of vinyl, wood and carpet flooring.

The cabinets, bathrooms, and common room walls are all in okay shape but there are some aesthetic issues and potential demo needed everywhere else.

I have no idea on the piping, gas and electric in the home for it has sat unused for years (who can I turn to evaluate this on a budget?)

The walls are cheap panels and cheap warped wallpaper. Broken window (s), doors (interior, and glass on exterior)

From a first time flipper... where should I start and in which order should I invest my time and my money?

Thanks guys, and again I’m a blank slate so lay it on me!
