Rehab Cost Estimators, Lists, Organization Tools

[Corey Wogtech]

I am looking to establish a more systematic approach for my REI. As everyone knows, the buying, rehabbing, and selling process has a lot of steps; efficiency and organization are key!

Does anyone have recommended smart phone aps, lists, spreadsheets, website links, etc that they feel give them a competitive advantage at any or all stages of the flipping process? If so, are you willing to share? Where did you find them? What do you like or dislike about them?

Here are a few items I would like to find resolutions to:

1) Estimating/organizing rehab and material costs during a walk through

2) Creating scope of work time lines and schedules

3) Organizing/compiling a "TO DO" list from start to finish of each project (including submission of financials, estimating ARV, creating a budget, getting keys made, a list of subs and inspections to schedule, etc, etc, anything and everything that might be important and potentially forgotten)

4) Recommendations - anything that you use that you think helps save time and increase organization, helps budget, etc. Tricks, lists, phone aps, iPad aps, website links, you name it!
