While we’re here, does anyone have any references or recommendations for a third party company that offers cost segregation and form 3115 filing?

I just wouldn't refer to it as pretty high relative to historical rates. 

We refer to this as reconciling to the previous tax return.As far as where to get the information to calculate some of these values, most of it can be derived from the closing/settlement documents for the fixed asset.To calculate depreciation, amortization, etc, you'll dig through IRS publications.

There's a lot of ways to get the deal done.Plenty of investors who don't care about FICO depending on the LTV, money is more expensive as a result.Everyones definition of low-mid credit is different.What range are we referring to?

A)  Seller referred me to their attorney so I could be one of a minimum of 3 bidders per divorce proceedings. 

If you now a good contractor who's capable and honest, please refer them to me (here or DM). 

I recommend finding a strong brokerage with investor-friendly agents who are doing a high amount of volume.You can set up systems and procedures to make it easy for them to refer your company over. and keep their clients happy.

Can you refer me to any resources, or any search terms for me to chase on youtube university, so I can learn more about vetting operators in these spaces? 

Most have been just singles, doubles, and strikeouts to keep the baseball references going lol
