I'm looking a recommendation for an app/software/etc. to generate a rehab scope of work (based on physical or video walk thru, ideally with ability to ballpark cost based market norms or user inputs).

My ideal strategy at the moment is to house hack a duplex and taking advantage of my first time home buying loan.

I certainly fit into this category...I have a number of tremendously far-left ideals and a number of tremendously far-right ideals...depending on the conversation, you'd probably either consider me a socialist or a libertarian...Of course, I don't tend to argue my far-right ideals on this forum (there's no-one that would argue with most of my far-right beliefs...they'd just agree with me and that's no fun :), which is why people here consider me to be solely far-left (and they're half-right).I don't really have too many beliefs right in the middle, with perhaps the exception of corporate regulation...I'm pretty centrist on issues related to that topic...

Particularly true in the types of lower socio-economic markets Eddie and I deal in.

Ideally I want counties which are setup for easy research.

I deal in low income but make it clean and safe and my whole portfolio cost about 100k and it grosses about 60k a year at full occupancy.

Ideally, you would buy properties that produce some income each month and that gain in value.Real estate business can be broadly divided into two categories - making deals happen and creating improvements.Making deals happens is what brokers and agents do.

The past few years have really magnified that so I’ve decided I would like to only work on my own terms and ideally on my own investments.I’m located in Orlando which from what I’ve read here seems to be a cesspool although it also appears to have a lot of activity and presumably a lot of competition.It seems like unless you have access to an asset manager then you just need to move quickly on REO properties with few or no contingencies to get deals that pencil out to profitable rehabs?

You can take your time on making an offer, but ideally you will get good enough to know as soon as you see a place to know what to offer.

It's not ideal because it's still putting all the eggs in one basket, but if you think about it's what many people have to do.
