Cost Segregations
Unlock heavy tax deductions, improve your cash flow, and permanently shift your tax timeline.
We help real estate investors use cost segregation and depreciation planning to reduce taxable income aggressively. Our process reviews land versus building allocation, bonus depreciation opportunities, passive loss limitations, STR or REPS qualification, holding periods, and 1031 plans.
The goal is simple: accelerate deductions in a way that is strategic, documented, and aligned with your long-term real estate plan.
How We Accelerate Your Deductions
​
-
Cost Segregation Benefit Estimate: Does the study make sense? We weigh the likely bonus-eligible amount, study cost, your tax bracket, and whether the benefit can be used currently or must be carried forward.
-
Depreciation Planning & Land Allocation: You can't depreciate dirt. Allocating purchase price correctly between the land and the building is the most critical first step. We help you avoid overly simplistic (and often wrong) 80/20 splits using supportable appraisal methods.
-
Bonus Depreciation Strategy: Accelerate write-offs on shorter-life property like appliances, fixtures, carpets, and land improvements. With bonus depreciation phasing out, the timing of your placed-in-service date is everything.
-
High-Cash-Flow Rental Planning: Offset high rental income. Accelerated depreciation can reduce or entirely eliminate tax on your rental income for years.
-
Failed or "Lazy" 1031 Planning: If your 1031 exchange failed or you decided not to rush into a bad deal, a cost segregation study on a new or existing property can often generate enough losses to offset the capital gain from the sale.
Avoiding DIY & Audit Risks
We help clients avoid unsupported DIY studies or low-quality reports that fall apart under IRS scrutiny. The IRS views Cost Segregation strictly, requiring engineering methodologies and clear documentation separating Section 1245 property from Section 1250 property. We coordinate with reputable providers to get an audit-ready study filed accurately with your return.
