There are a lot of real estate forums on the internet, but sadly many of them turn in to dumping grounds for spam. Not the case with www.magicbullets.com. Webmaster Dan Auito has put together a excellent site which, to use his words, is "...designed to offer advice, support, information, resources and tools related to understanding how to use real estate to your best advantage."

Dealmakers.net is one of the oldest commercial real estate sites on the Internet. They focus on commercial property, with a particular emphsis on retail, both as an Internet portal and as a publisher of print publications. Brokers and principals use Dealmakers.net to help them sell, lease and finance property, and to learn about the latest happenings in the industry.

We've been subscribers to their valuable e-mail forums for many years. Those forums cover commercial and investment real estate, finance, property for lease and more. Services also include the Email Blast Service (Eblast.net) for marketing sites for lease, properties for sale, financing opportunities,etc. and Tenant Search (http://www.tenantsearch.com), a directory of over 7,000 tenants seeking commercial space across the US.

Many users of our software work in real estate development or construction, so we were pleased to take note of RSMeans CostWorks. They offer a subscription-based service for construction cost estimating. Among the main features they describe are access to 85,000 unit costs, 25,000 assemblies and 42,000 facilities costs covering new building construction, repair, remodeling, change order, facilities maintenance and heavy construction. They say the cost data is updated on an ongoing basis and that they provide localized materials and labor data to 900 locations in the U.S. and Canada.

Their site has video previews of many of service's features, and a free trial.
