Beginner Must Have Tool List
Hello I just purchased my first property that I plan to BRRRR and I'm sorry in advance if this is an obnoxious question but I don't have any formal experience with residential construction (5 years in commercial and a fast learner/ YouTube is how I plan to research particular repairs) I'm looking for an either basic or comprehensive list of tools I will need for first demo-ing the existing insides (this is going to be a full gut job) and then a suggested tool list for finishing the house.. thanks in advance to anyone who contributes, I believe this post will come in handy for many others to get a head start and save time running to Home Depot on their first projects as well!

Doing it yourself doesn't actually save you any money if you're not versed in construction. You're probably going to be a lot better off hiring out this work and focusing your time on income producing activities that allow you to use your current skill set.
