Cost Segregation - Scale?

At what scale does it make sense to start exploring a cost segregation study?  Does the cost of the study scale with the size of the investment?  Who does these (not looking for specific companies), is it accountants, lawyers, agents, and/or contractors?  Seems like an interesting niche...

I had always assumed these were for larger scale commercial investments, but in the recent On The Market episode, Brandon Hall used an example of a $100k property.  Not sure if that was for easy numbers or if this is something that can apply to most six-figure investments.  In my head it's always been a 7+ figure investment tool... 

Thanks in advance!

The beautiful thing about the cost segregation is that the cost seg company will give you a breakdown of what the cost seg study will cost and the likely benefit of the study before you have to pay for it, so it's a win, then play scenario. Like when I did my last one, the study was going to cost $1600 and the benefit of it was $28,000 in tax savings. I don't know about you, but for me personally, I will trade $1600 for $28,000 as many times as you will let me.  RE Cost Seg is a fantastic company designed for owners of smaller properties. They are able to do it all virtually, which reduces their costs drastically from what it used to cost to get a specialist out to your house to charge tens of thousands. Highly recommend them!
