What's the proper order to rehab a house?

Hey folks,

The title says it all. What's the proper order in which to do the things necessary to rehab a house? I'm in a super rural area, and through pains with general contractors have realized I will more than likely need to learn to handle rehabs myself.

The one house I'm looking at is a 1440-sqft 2br, 1ba. It needs new fascia and gutters; needs plumbing brought up to code, needs bathroom reworked slightly with new vanities, and a new water heater; needs wiring brought up to code as part of it is on fuse box; needs new flooring; needs a complete HVAC system installed; needs a complete new interior paint job; AND has a little bit of mold in one of the front bedrooms (not black mold) due to poor drainage. Crawlspace, no attic to speak of.

What order would I need to tackle these things in if I were to handle the subcontracting myself?
