One question that I have as I find myself listening to a great 5 year old podcast for education purposes is "have things changed significantly over the last 5 years" to make this research obsolete?  

If can not find all the expense then do educated guess base on the condition of each comp. 

Practically speaking that means if property is being purchased to rehab and flip a risk is being taken if improvements are made before the 120-day redemption period expires."
