It is very easy for a seller or seller's broker to google a financing company and see if they are reputable or not. 

I haven't invested in their funds, but they all have very strong reputations and I have purchased notes from one of them directly. 1.

I have not had much luck finding reputable groups offering a takaful structure beyond a google search, even then, I am not sure if those would be accepted by your lender, if you have one.

Overall I would say our users average 75%-80% across our phone number data sets in terms of accuracy with some of our users experiencing up to a 30% contact rate when using reputable dialers. 

If you're aiming for really detailed budget-vs-actual tracking for individual repair categories, breaking down receipts can be extremely tedious.For example, if you buy toilets, doors, vanities, trim, and paint all on one Home Depot receipt, those five items technically need to be categorized separately (plumbing, doors, bathrooms, woodwork, interior painting).

It's important to compare the overall value of -Loan Terms/Cost (interest rates + fees)-Leverage Offered (LTC vs ARV maximums)-Loan Term (always want a minimum 12 month term with no PPP even if I'll be out in 90 days)- Draw Process for rehab funds (how easy do they make it)- Reputation ( what do google reviews say/do I know any other investors who have used them)-Communication (how frictionless is it to communicate with them?

They don’t have much of an online reputation other than their own site/postings and although their presentation looks legitimate, I’m hesitant to outlay that kind of cash without verifying.

It is going to be much more detailed and realistic than a spreadsheet in my opinion.

I could go in to all kinds of details with the horror stories I've seen, but I'll let BP do the work for me.

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.
