My first flip!
Very excited to start my first flip. 4 Bed rambler in the Seattle area. I have a few questions:
Home was built in the 60s. The original hardwood floor in the common areas and bedrooms. And two layers of carpet over that. Is it more cost-effective to resurface the original hardwood or just get new flooring throughout?
I'm planning to start the projects with the exterior first, then moving inside. Does anyone have a different process? What projects do you save for last?
What is the one best way you've found to save money when flipping?
Can't wait to see it finished! Thanks everyone.

First in order the bones(roof,plumbing,electrical,and drywall repairs or replacement).Second,exterior paint and landscaping to create buzz and excitement for upcoming open house(alert brokers home will be available soon).Third,interior paint,flooring, new cabinets and appliances,new fixtures,etc.Fourth,host brokers open only to advertise new listing and get advice to fix what you did wrong.Last,host open house and wait for the offers to start flying your way!
