Cost Segregation Analysis
Accelerate your depreciation. Keep more cash flowing into your portfolio — now.
Overview
Cost segregation is one of the most powerful — and most underutilized — tax strategies available to real estate investors and business owners. By reclassifying components of your property from the IRS standard 27.5 or 39-year schedule to 5-, 7-, or 15-year depreciation schedules, you dramatically accelerate deductions and generate significant cash flow in the early years of ownership. With the extension of bonus depreciation there is an increased first year savings potential.
How It Works
A cost segregation study is an engineering-based tax analysis that identifies and reclassifies personal property assets and land improvements. The result: depreciation deductions that would otherwise be spread over 27.5 or 39 years are instead captured in 5 to 15 years — or even in year one under bonus depreciation rules.
