My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

I have been able to review or been told of several audits (from other REI tax colleagues) related to cost segs in the last year or so- and of those none of DIY cost segs were allowed under audit. 

Most likely your conclusion is correct, but the only way to confirm it is by having a real estate accountant review your tax situation.Also, please read this introduction if you want to better understand the concept:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1075919-five-...

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

Got a negative review for not having a garage to use in the winter….

It is used towards the appraisal, the environmental study, document review and preparation.

I hope anyone researching this company finds this review and takes my advice to run FAR AWAY from these guys!

The numbers may be 30-40% lower than today's cost, but the process/approach to estimating may be good for you to review.
