Have you checked out BuilderTrend?

I am building the curriculum for a residential carpentry apprenticeship program, with a combined program of practical and theoretical studies. Covering every aspect of building Basic level one would include topics such as; Hand tool safety, identification and operation. Power tool safety, identification and operation. Timber fundamentals. Basic joints. Material handling. You get the idea. I finished my apprenticeship ten years ago in England and I now want to pass on as much of what I learnt to people here in the US. There is an estimated shortfall in construction workers of over 15m nation wide, alongside that, I see that when people begin to lose more jobs to automation they will look to re-train and perhaps take a career in construction. I want this program to hang and open many doors for as many people as possible.

I've been using myreipro.com. It does cost but they have a fully functioning free trial.

I am confident with the numbers I have run and everything is in place for what may be to follow. Nothing has come up that I haven't already considered. Which feels good. 

Big thanks to ya'll. - 

I have been under the impression that these things are typically sight unseen. In no danger at the moment as I haven't bid.

BP family, What actions can you take if you have purchased a property at a foreclosure auction and your inspection reveals; water damage, termite damage, serious mechanical problems ect, and come at a large cost to fix?

BP family, If you've acquired a property at a foreclosure auction, what learning opportunities presented themselves through the process that you hadn't previously considered?
