We are evaluating the options now and continuing the negotiation.

I'll just have to continue to double down when I get home.

I should be there as I'm always interested in learning and to continue to better myself as a professional. 

Otherwise, I will continue to network on BP.As a quick background of my wife and I -- My wife is an orthopedic nurse practitioner and I am an land manager for an oil & gas company, each with 10 years of experience.  

The boundaries of a neighborhood can be larger streets, tracks, parks, etc.A house as close as possible in features (beds, baths), size, etc.Using the same financing method, with an arms-length transaction.Once you've found the right comps, then you have to make adjustments to them based on all of those features to get an accurate value for your property.I used to use a spreadsheet for that, until I built this tool: www.reikit.com/compsThe tool uses Zillow data for lookups, but usually I go in with my own set of comps from my realtors then use the tool for adjustments.The hard part is getting the comps, though, and MLS is always going to be king.Cheers!

I've been considering going this route and doubt myself every now and then while continuing to research (and I'm just a young single guy!).

The actual site will give you the web presence, but then it's up to you to continue marketing and driving traffic to that site.  

The side by side family arrangement seemed ideal and truthfully from looking at the place it seemed like this situation would probably continue on indefinitely!

I have a feeling REIT investments will continue to be a good investment as well with a strong Chi/San Fran/New York base.

Simply use the search feature in BP and type in accounting software.
