Pick up the BiggerPockets books, "The Book on Flipping Houses."

It is a step-by-step guide -- 20 steps laid out in 20 chapters...

If you just want 10 steps, you can skip every other chapter...  ;-)

    Roof condition

    Floor structural

    Plumbing repairs and plan upgrades

    Electrical basics and plan upgrades. Hvac etc 

    Repair walls damages

    Fix and paint ceilings

    Paint walls

    New or upgrade flooring 

    Look at and “fix” curb appeal

    Decide to rent or flip

    That’s my basic 10 .  Each level can go in any direction and any depth of repairs or upgrades depending on your market. Mine is basic ,clean affordable no frills housing. 

    And for j scott’s Benefit I’m going to have to buy that book someday when I have time to sit down and read it. I am too busy rehabbing . I am waiting on the book On tape, cd or what ever form us “Old guys” use.
