In some instances, it was difficult to locate the source of the high water bill, but ultimately, it was discovered that there was some leak on the premises.

I am in the process of studying for my licensing exam in the state of Tennessee and plan to work in the Chattanooga area upon completion of the test (which will be quite soon).

Quote from @Jorge Magana: Nathan good afternoon; I'm about to do my first cost seg study for a new construction project we recently finished; would you recommend REcostseg?

@Richard Benjamin Wilhite, @Bill B.makes some good points about loan terms and the strict identification rules for a 1031 exchange.I would add from a tax mitigation perspective that buying the largest property possible will give you the greatest amount of cost segregation possibility and at the lowest cost since it would be one study rather than several. 

If any of your properties are discovered by City officials to be unregistered, you can receive an administrative citation for failure to register; this penalty can cost $100 or more per property.

I feel bad for the investors who are likely going to lose out on their hard earned income and invested in this company but it can also be used as a case study for other members of the BP community moving forward before investing.

Generally, the properties that benefit the most from a cost segregation study are properties that are remodeled, expanded, purchased or constructed after 1987, the year in which the Investment Tax Credit was enacted.

The county discovered I was renting out my home and property taxes more than doubled (lost homeowner and two other exemptions).  

3 recent national studies show that the rent to value ratio is at an all time worse (what they really studied was cheaper to rent than buy, but there is strong correlation).  

The solution I give them is to narrow their focus on a specific market, study it, and get to know what a good deal looks like.
