Tablet and laptops are obvious equipment that you are going to need, especially if your workload is research based, I didn’t mention a desktop because of the lack of portability. Apart from that, you might want to get a tablet that can last for a long time without having to charge, I personally recommend a tablet over a laptop.

5. A Portable Scanner:
You might want to get a portable scanner so you can scan documents on-the-go, it gives you better mobility. But, I’m not asking you to carry it around in your hands, just keep it in your car until you have the need to convert Pdf’s and print outs into JPEG images.

You might need a drone depending upon the terrain of the property, but it’s generally useful in all cases.
