I am an overseas investor, as well, fyi.Before renting, I plan on hiring out to qualified people the following work:-re-glaze all 3 tubs, repair 2 tub surrounds, replace vanities/mirrors/light/fan/toilet internals in 3 bathrooms-rip up carpet, evaluate wood flooring underneath, and either refinish it, or put down laminate on top-repaint whole house inside-professionally treat both apartments for bedbugs (revealed on seller's disclosure that they were there in May 2018)-full house clean-out (previous tenants may leave crap behind)My question is how do I order all this work to happen in the most efficient way possible, so that I don't have to, for example, pay professional cleaners to go through the house twice, or repaint after the tub re-glazing makes a mess of the bathrooms, etc.
