All electric boxes installed.  

Had this species of viper in our tractor engine in the morning.  

Like if I want to do a cosmetic flip on something in the 275k range, where I want to put in some of my own sweat equity in the place (I could demo and cut wood and paint) but then hiring some help for electrical, or plumbing, would that be a good experience to work directly with the folks?

You make a completely valid point regarding the terminology.To clarify my original comment, I was referring to the underlying tax principle of segregating tangible personal property into shorter MACRS class lives, rather than suggesting Clark needs to commission a formal, engineered cost segregation study for appliances for which he already has the receipts.Since the $6k is already clearly isolated from the purchase receipts, proceeding with a full engineered study just for those items wouldn't make sense.

Did you do a self-assessment / engineer-assisted model, or pay for a full engineering study?

They are really accommodating for investors and one of the owners (brothers) does the engineering report himself. (972) 740-2235

3) Did you use Max engineered or residual method for cost segregation?

I've bought properties at solid spreads that still turned mediocre because labor got backed up, supply chains hiccupped, or I underestimated electrical/plumbing work.

My name is Malcolm, I'm a recent college grad turned full time engineer. 

For a SFH STR, you're right to avoid the big firms — an engineered study from them typically runs $3k–$16k and just doesn't pencil on a single property.A few things worth knowing before you pick a provider:1.
