Engineered cost segregation studies usually start around $3,000 for SFHs and go up from there depending on the property. 

We are still in the midst of doing our due diligence to reverse engineer what our offer could be considering first what we can rent out the place for and working backwards from there.

Good point about the reverse-engineering and permit records - something I've recently discovered myself as well!

The estimated tax savings that these cost segregation companies provide are normally invalid as they don't know your whole picture.For example, the tax savings of $68,000 is laughable.Your income of about $100,000 is likely going to be taxed somewhere in the 22% tax bracket(Unsure of your tax filing status).Which would mean, even if you can take 100% of the losses, that your savings would be around $22,000.There are two different types of cost segregation studies - Studies where Engineers are stopping by the property and creating a report for you - Starts at $2,500Studies based on completing a questionnaire - Starts at $450I normally recommend one study over another in certain situations.best of luck.

I had a structural engineer in school who had a saying, "if you can't build it, don't design it". 

The reason is, I'm a Data Engineer, which I think you already know, and I built a software solution to build the db.

I’ve been analyzing the overhead costs for high-volume wholesaling, and it seems the 'standard' path of paying $5–$10 per motivated seller lead is a major bottleneck for scaling.As a developer, I wanted to see if I could engineer a 'lean' strategy to bypass expensive third-party platforms.

I'd encourage you to check out ours :) There's also a link to my pricing engine at my website link below in my signature. 

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

It can often take years to resolve and may require you to hire professional assistance (even if the cost segregation firm claims they offer audit assistance).Here are some qualifications that you should look for when hiring a firm:In-house engineers: The best firms have specialized engineers on staff, not just hired contractors.
