What is cost segregation?

Cost segregation is a tax planning strategy that allows property owners to accelerate depreciation deductions and reduce taxes. It involves identifying and reclassifying building components that would typically be depreciated over 39 years (commercial) or 27.5 years (residential) into shorter depreciation periods of 5, 7, or 15 years, resulting in significant tax savings.

Who can benefit from cost segregation?

Any property owner who has purchased, constructed, or renovated a commercial or residential rental property with a cost basis of $500,000 or more can benefit from cost segregation. This includes Airbnb hosts, rental property owners, commercial real estate investors, and business owners with property.

How does your no-upfront cost model work?

We analyze your property first and identify potential tax savings. You only pay us after we've proven the amount you'll save and you're satisfied with the results. If we can't save you money, you don't pay us anything.

What happens if I get audited by the IRS?

Unlike many competitors, we provide audit support as part of our service. If the IRS questions your cost segregation study, our team of experts (including former IRS professionals) will help defend your deductions at no additional cost.
