We get a bunch all year round in the house.

Want to get into it and hit two birds/one 50cal round?  

After a few rounds and a few clients she began charging for her services cause now she has a track record and trust.Similar to you, you don't have a track record and if you ask for a percent of the add value and they loose money then logically you would owe them money. 

@Sherwin Vargas attendance at our local REIA has been through the roof, literally standing room only, probably at least 50% more than a few months ago and all new faces.I'd had coffee with one new investor who said that at least one guru was coming through town, with a "free" (teaser) seminar in January and the (first) one that costs money in February, so I attributed it to that, but if even more are coming through town then I guess they're going to have to get a bigger room (lol).I did my time in seminars-ville in the mid 2000s so I won't be going to the latest round.

. [($1200/12)+$1200]I have always done this.. as simple as rounding up to the nearest thousand or hundred..

Any other wonderful advice that you can think of that would help set me up for success, here on my second go round?

@Shaun Troyer - I recently did a round of DD on a 10 home park in NC.

It is perfect weather all year round but there is something so nice about coming back and getting into a hot tub. 

(also if everything pans out well with plans for electric/septic/access)With the intention in mind to create a space so unique, it's the only one of its kind within several hundred miles.....you are in a very good spot.Create an outdoor area that can be used year-round through the seasons - think about a hot tub or a sauna...Reviews here will be of utmost importance.
