To start you may have to do everything but eventually you will want to build a business not a job that relies on your physical labor.  

@Allan Smith Where do you think the labor force will opt for housing?

"Most" water damage claims can be fixed and closed within a few weeks or months, where a fire claim "may" take 6 months to 1 year to close out due to more extensive construction, delays in materials or labor, weather/seasonal delays, etc. 

I would suggest @Joe Funari to help on the purchase.

Both of my parents have helped with some projects when it comes to labor but financially is myself and the lender that has been amazing through the purchase of both properties.

From my experience (I could be wrong) there isn't a format but the estimate should list details like the materials to be ordered and the hours of labor needed for each repair project (for example the kitchen cabinet installation or exterior doors) along with a cost listed for each line item.

The quote was $5352.00 ($3,650 for labor and $1,702 for materials).

As @Joe Funari mentioned there are numerous free groups to attend here as well.
