My spouse and I own a business in the construction/home services industry.

I've got several clients wanting a vacation rental in Colorado who are watching closely.  

@Nick JohnsonOne think I recommend to clients is to think about why you're investing and what are your goals for 1,3,5 years? 

With my clients I am able to point out obvious signs of foundation issues here in Austin, and I always suggest getting it checked before closing too.

Most of the software I use for deals for myself and my clients use an algorithm that will use statistical amounts for replacement based on current costs.

Typically they work alongside with one another and have mutual connections but where the interest of the clients are far and wide, it is very difficult to have an agency that services all of those needs under one house. 

It's where you can find/post advertising/promotions for properties or services, as these aren't allowed in the forums.

Also, do you charge a service fee on top to offset that software/back-end expenses/fees?

Are there any skip tracing services in Canada?

Background:In the Class Action Complaint (linked below) the Judge accused the NAR of fixing prices and states, "For decades, home buyers across America have been unwittingly paying too much for, and receiving too little from, services offered to them by real estate agent members of NAR.Despite agent representations (which NAR permits and encourages) that such services do not cost home buyers anything, home buyers in fact pay a hefty cost for these services—namely,  supracompetitive commissions at levels fixed by the Defendants, which in turn lead to higher home prices paid by buyers...as part of their membership, brokers must also agree to follow NAR’s rules, practices, and guidelines.
