Invested Over $500,000 in Commercial or Rental Property in the Last 10 Years? A Cost Segregation Study Could Significantly Optimize Your Savings!

 

Understanding Cost Segregation

Cost Segregation is a strategic tax planning technique that enables businesses and individuals involved in real estate construction, purchase, expansion, or renovation to boost cash flow. This is achieved by speeding up depreciation deductions and postponing federal and state income taxes.

 

How Does a Cost Segregation Study Work?

When acquiring property, it encompasses not just the building but also all its interior and exterior elements. Typically, 20% to 40% of these components qualify for quicker tax write-offs compared to the main structure. A Cost Segregation study breaks down the construction cost or purchase price, which would normally be depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years. The key objective of this study is to pinpoint all costs related to the property that can be depreciated over 5, 7, and 15 years.
