Professional studies include site visits, engineering analysis, and detailed component-by-component breakdowns.

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.

But warped floors in a 1998 house means something is wrong (at that age, it's likely under-engineered framing).

Plan for 15 to 25 percent of the electrical budget to be discovered work.Biggest early mistake I made was not getting a structural engineer involved before closing.

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. 

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

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

So, start from there and do the reverse engineering.

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!
