First - I think your accountant should be providing you recommendations for cost segregation companies.It it most likely, if he/she works with real estate investors, that he/she would have a couple to recommend.Second - There are two types of cost segregation studies.Type 1 - Conducted by an engineering firm where an engineer will inspect the property.

May I ask which dynamic pricing tool you will recommend to use.

If the plan is to go local, I would recommend going to investor meet ups.

There seems to be a bit of hostility here from the contractors, and this was really just a question so I could better understand and more easily work with contractors.This question was for a first-time encounter with a new contractor not recommended to me by anyone I know.I am happy to give weekly checks for progress, purchase all materials upfront including all the fittings, nails, caulk, and whatever else the contractor chooses.

I can't either recommend or not recommend them at this point.  

If you know of any online forums or organizations where I can learn from others and expand my network and knowledge on wholesaling or getting my first deal, I’d really appreciate any recommendations Thanks in advance for your help!

patience Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I cut off PMs that constantly try to find ways to add revenues by what I call trickery; selling some 3rd party service that they have contracted to all their clients, recommending small fixes turn into large one's,etc, make it difficult to get 2nd opinions. 

Hey Andre,If you are up for it, I would highly recommend buying a home that you can do renovations on to force equity!

Can you recommend resources for finding a qualified landlord-tenant attorney in my area to assist me with this process?
