Have you noticed any major differences in efficiency or productivity based on the skiptracing service you use?

And they had this new factory built (que drone videos).  

After pulling data from county records and GIS systems, I thoroughly clean and refine those lists before skip tracing to enhance accuracy and avoid wasting resources.My typical workflow prioritises cost efficiency and impact:SMS Text Campaigns – Quick, cost-effective, and easy to scale.

Beautiful design with some of the best Energy efficient options I have ever seen in addition to a huge boat dock/boat lift with Guld Access.One of the awesome things about this New area being built is they already have the approval from the County and in their HOA for STR Short term rentals!

The more important factor is will the rent make the PITI, 15% for vacancy, maintenance, and cap X, plus cash flow.

For DIY - use Zillow and maybe FB Marketplace (just have to watch out for scammers).We're on 30+ sites, but we have scales of efficiency that would be hard for you to match.

If you're running an efficient business your opex should be 30-40% your gross income, thus your net should still be ahead.... 

Am I doing this as intended/efficiently or is there a better way/workflow to do this?

The more I think about AI and data collection (especially if this data can be collected automatically) I really think the sky is the limit. it makes sense to use this new technology to automate tasks, increase efficiency and likely improve your RE portfolio. 

While the IRS does not mandate a physical site visit, the IRS cost segregation audit technique guide (ATG) does suggest conducting “field inspections.”It’s important to note that the ATG is not an official IRS document.It serves as a guide and cannot be used, cited, or relied upon as an authoritative source.However, the recommendations in the ATG are worth considering.According to the guide: “A field inspection is recommended to document the physical details of the building, type of construction, materials used for construction, the assets contained in the building, the size and types of building systems, and any land improvements that were included in the purchase of the property and the condition of that property at the time of purchase.”‍So while the IRS does not require a site visit for cost segregation studies, following the guidance from the cost segregation audit technique guide can be beneficial.At RE Cost Seg, we’ve adopted a modern approach that goes beyond these recommendations, utilizing video walkthroughs to provide a thorough, efficient, and documented inspection process.This ensures that every detail is captured, giving our clients confidence in the accuracy and quality of their cost segregation studies from us.
