After the meeting there was no action plan other than doing a cost segregation study on the properties we had.

You will have a leg up on the language, transactions, inspections etc.  

What I personally do is I will hire a local Civil engineer who has done subdivisions in the jurisdiction and I will pay them up front for a detailed feasibility study.

They don't understand how to price effectively, study the market, set boundaries with tenants, establish policies and procedures, communicate, and dozens of other things.

Quote from @Aaron Zimmerman: I would look for other ways to legally reduce income such as cost segregation studies.

Via a study I done comparing the Preforeclosure leads that PS provided with county records for over 167 counties across TX, CA and FL.

Yes, we agree this is a PM issue / topic to handle.So we've left it for them to do so.They've already showed the tenant, from the contract language, why they are being asked to pay for this.Thanks again,

I'm looking for case studies.

Studies show good staging does have an impact on your sale.

Perhaps do a case study with a hypothetical deal you think is typical for what you are looking at and compare it to the alternative investments you might use and their expected returns.
