This won't be our first time living in Sac but our first time doing so with a keen eye on real estate. 

Everything my realtor sends me is already on Zillow and has many eyes/bids.

welcome to BP and the forums @Frank Oliver I hope you find it as eye opening and supportive as I have over the many year's I've been participating. 

Platforms like Procore, JobTread, Buildertrend, and FlipperForce have caught my eye, but I want to make sure I’m considering the best fit for my needs.Here’s what I’m looking for in a solution:Cost Estimation: A tool that accurately calculates material and labor costs.Project Oversight: Features to manage tasks, schedules, and budgets efficiently from start to finish.Vendor Integration: Real-time updates on pricing and inventory from suppliers like Home Depot or other suppliers.Material Suggestions: Automation or recommendations based on the rehab’s scope and specifications.Labor Planning: Tools to predict labor hours and staffing requirements for each phase of the project.For those of you who’ve used any of these platforms (or others), I’d love to hear your thoughts:Which software have you found most effective and why?

Glad you made your way here.. are you eyeing long-term rentals or short-term flips?

The one downside I've heard from my family who went to school there are that the homes don't appreciate in value much there so the only value in my eyes is to find a great deal to flip or to rent it out long-term.

They relied on subcontract cleaners to be the final eyes on the property.

It has opened my eyes to how single family rentals really work.

You could also check out options like Cozy or TenantCloud for similar features.When converting to LTR, just keep an eye on local rental laws, lease terms, and any rent control rules that might apply.

Come on think about it, have your brother or sister come live with you after you have been living by yourself for 5 years......it won't be a peaches and cream.
