Where to start on a remodel?
Hey guys I am a new investor with one property. I'm looking at purchasing a distressed home and fixing it up. My W2 job driving a school bus so I have about 5 hours in the middle of my day free and want to do a lot of the rehab myself. I can do most small jobs but have never taken on a project as big as this. I know the roof needs to be replaced first, but after that, I am not sure where to start on a project this big. I'll list some of the things below that need fixed, what order would you guys tackle it in? Or does anything stand out where you think it should be fixed asap? Thank you!
The upstairs needs paint on all the walls, new flooring, a complete bathroom remodel, ceiling has some spots of water damage, a few windows need to be replaced, and an updated kitchen.
The basement needs some waterproofing, framed-out rooms need drywall, mold needs to be cleaned (no gutters on the house and has been vacant for 2 years), spiral staircase needs replaced.
The outside has asbestos shingling (I can put siding over it in my area) Roof needs to be replaced, and the yard needs a little work.
