What do you have the Bird Dog do, since the services can vary based on need and/or city?

For now, I have 0$ but will adjust based on the results of the inspection.

Based out of Richmond, VA. 

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 may need to adjust our calculation based off of 90day schedule and not 60day schedule.

(but shouldn't commission based sales agents always be prepared for a downturn?).

I do know that base boards go around the bottom of the wall. 

This means that you'll just buy your ads separately and point them to your LP site.The cost for these really varies based on which terms you're trying to target and which network you're using (AdWords, FB Ads, Twitter, etc).Best of luck!

I base which one I'd recommend off of the deal.

I can't say there's a book that gave me much insight on specifics, mostly because the structure of so many deals is based on the market that the property is in, and regulations change so often, a book of that nature would become obsolete fairly quickly.
