There are two types of cost segregation study companies.1 - An engineering firm where a professional will stop by to analyze the property and provide you a report based on his/her findings.2 - An engineering firm that will send you a questionnaire.

Always hire an engineer first, then send the engineer's recommended scope of work to foundation companies and have them bid based on that report. 

This market is unforgiving, you need equity, and need reserves to the keep the engine running. 

Let me explain...Private lending is half of what I do - software engineering being the other.

I am an engineer and I've personally evaluated multiple properties in each subdivision we recommend.

so far it's been a labor of love, but i finally got it to scrape the entire site. now just trying to figure out how to improve my flow and other sites I should add to my sourcing engine. feedback would be appreciated!

I am moving to King of Prussia for an engineering job in the next month or so.

I could easily see engineered hardwood here costing $10k-$15k and painting costing another $10k.

But engineer, actuary, economist, etc then probably worth going to college but not a requirement. good luck

Just make sure the STR meets material participation rules and get a proper engineering-based cost segregation study to confirm the exact numbers.
