depends on what deity you are praying to.

buddha side can put altar anywhere except toilet,kitchen and bedroom.

for kaiguang you need to engage a high monk.

juz fyi, I invited a high monk frm 居士林 4yrs ago thru my friend's friend's friend connection.... . I juz 'shui yi' give an ang bao for his time n good deed, n its consider a donation to the temple... no specific amount.....if I am not wrong, monk will not actually collect $$ for any service.... hmm correct me if I am wrong.

now not anymore - due to greedy, non-automatic blooksucking consumers who gave $2 angbaos...

now most have a package - fixed price, differs temple to temple.

It depends on which deity you intend to invite. But generally link to store doesn't sound like you respect them lah. Buddhas and bodhisattvas prefer quiet corner. Normally monks is sui yuan, still it all depends on how comfortable you are with the monk. If you think you are fine with paying a fixed rate then go ahead. As long as throughout the process you bear no anger or unhappiness. By right, you still have to be the one who invites the deity to come and 'reside' in your quarters and you should be in the right frame of mind. Some master can help see which deity and you have fate and can advise you which deity you should probably invite.
