While the IRS does not mandate a physical site visit, the IRS cost segregation audit technique guide (ATG) does suggest conducting “field inspections.”It’s important to note that the ATG is not an official IRS document.It serves as a guide and cannot be used, cited, or relied upon as an authoritative source.However, the recommendations in the ATG are worth considering.According to the guide: “A field inspection is recommended to document the physical details of the building, type of construction, materials used for construction, the assets contained in the building, the size and types of building systems, and any land improvements that were included in the purchase of the property and the condition of that property at the time of purchase.”So while the IRS does not require a site visit for cost segregation studies, following the guidance from the cost segregation audit technique guide can be beneficial.

Joe - I would suggest you consider the following:- Google "REIAs" in your local areas.- Search Meet Up App to see what meetings/meet ups are nearby.- Post on craigslist asking about networking with other real estate investors. - I would search Bigger Pockets for members in VT and ask them their thoughts.Greg

Aldi followed suit, purchasing two stores in Phoenix and Mesa for $6.9 million.With 11 locations still available, off-price retailers like Goodwill and Burlington are expected to backfill these spaces.
