FAQs

Frequently asked question

New to Cost Segregation Studies?

Whether you just bought your first property or are a seasoned investor, we work with individuals and funds of all sizes across the country.

I bought and placed a property in service in 2023. Can I still do a cost segregation study in 2024?

Yes, you can. Cost segregation studies can be conducted retroactively for properties placed in service in previous years. This allows you to claim missed depreciation and potentially amend prior tax returns to maximize savings.

I’m a high W-2 earner. Can cost segregation offset my W-2 income taxes?

Yes, in many cases. By leveraging cost segregation, you can generate depreciation deductions that may offset your W-2 income when combined with other tax strategies. Consult with your tax advisor to explore the full benefits.

I’m planning to sell my property soon. Does cost segregation still make sense?

It depends on your specific situation. Even with a short ownership period, cost segregation can provide significant tax savings. However, potential recapture taxes should be considered. Our team can help you evaluate the benefits based on your timeline.

Can I perform cost segregation on properties I purchased in prior years?

Absolutely. Cost segregation can often be applied to properties acquired in previous years, with the ability to “catch up” on missed depreciation through a change in accounting method. There’s no need to amend past tax returns.

When is the best time to get a cost segregation study?

The ideal time is soon after purchasing or placing the property in service. However, you can still benefit at any point during your ownership. The sooner you act, the quicker you’ll see the tax benefits.

  • Short-term rentals

How long does the cost segregation process take?

Depending on the property size and service level, a study can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. Our Rapid Report service offers quicker turnaround times for simpler properties.
