You have very little control over title/municipal searches or surveys being done.

A true cost segregation study requires a qualified construction engineer or architect to perform a site survey, deconstruct the property on paper and reclassify every asset (there are hundreds often thousands of individual assets in a building, even a small rental) which would take 30-40 hours on a small rental and a few hundred hours on most multifamily or commercial properties.

Many of the larger property management companies do a market survey where they share info and data on their communities to ensure everyone is consistent with their rents. 

Stanley's daughter came out with a new book this month updating the research -- I haven't read it yet.Stanley identified several factors that keep you rich or poor: where you live, how much you spend on the house you line in, how much you spend on luxuries, how much debt you pay interest on, but I believe his most important finding is that a much higher percentage of millionaire men than normal will report on a survey that their spouse is more frugal than they are.Getting rich turns out to be very much a team sport, specifically, a team of two.
