Trying to balance audit-defensibility with not lighting money on fire.

The reports are IRS-defensible, include full audit support, and most CPAs I've talked to have been fine signing off on them.

On one end you have a very detailed engineering studies that are highly defensible in an audit and also very expensive.  

A new WalletHub study ranked Huntsville among the top U.S. cities for jobs, based on job growth, hiring activity, wage strength, and overall economic stability.From an investing standpoint, this is worth paying attention to.Huntsville’s economy continues to be anchored by defense, aerospace, engineering, and advanced manufacturing.

Room42.io offers engineering-based studies for residential components at $525 per property - way less than traditional firms but still defensible.

The study looks at metrics like job growth consistency, wage gains, high-tech GDP concentration, and how well metros hold up when national momentum slows.From an investor lens, that matters more than boom-cycle spikes.Why Huntsville’s inclusion is notable:• High concentration of engineering, defense, and aerospace employment• Federal and long-term contract-driven job base reduces cycle risk• Continued in-migration even as other markets cool• Strong alignment between wage growth and housing demandThis isn’t a market built on tourism, speculative tech, or short-term capital inflows.

Paying a professional gives you peace of mind that it’s done right and defensible if ever audited.

The engineered study matters because it's your IRS defense for those numbers.

They will either go back if it was a problem with their title transfer, or they will pay for your losses, legal defense fees, or the cost to fix the defect. 

The ATG specifically mandates engineering principles for accurate and defensible studies.
