We help real estate owners identify faster-depreciating assets and reclassify them into their IRS-approved categories.
Cost segregation reduces your taxable income. You pay less tax and hold on to your money for your next investment.
Cost segregation can help you maximize the value of your real estate investments and increase profitability.
A cost segregation study can be beneficial at various stages of the real estate lifecycle. Here are some key scenarios where it’s particularly advantageous:
If you’ve recently acquired a property, a cost segregation study can help you immediately capitalize on accelerated depreciation. By reclassifying assets early, you’ll maximize your tax benefits from the outset.
Planning to buy a property? Incorporating a cost segregation analysis into your due diligence process allows you to forecast potential tax savings, giving you a clearer picture of the property’s financial impact.
When building or renovating, partnering with a cost segregation advisor can help you design for maximum depreciation benefits. By identifying qualifying assets during the planning phase, you can structure your project to optimize tax savings.
Own a property that’s been in service for several years? It’s not too late. Retrospective studies can “catch up” missed depreciation, providing a significant tax benefit through a change in accounting method without amending prior returns.
We work on a variety of asset classes:
From remote cabins in Utah to storage facilities in Georgia – we have been there, done that. Our team is ready to tackle your project – big or small.
We start with a free, no-obligation consultation to assess your property’s eligibility for a cost segregation study. Our experts analyze key details such as purchase price, construction costs, and property type to estimate your potential tax savings.
Our team conducts a thorough engineering and tax analysis, breaking down building components into shorter depreciation schedules. We identify assets that qualify for accelerated depreciation, ensuring maximum tax benefits while staying IRS-compliant.
Once the study is complete, we provide a detailed cost segregation report, outlining asset classifications and projected tax savings. Your CPA or tax advisor can then integrate this data into your tax return to unlock immediate deductions.
We stand by our work and offer full support in case of an IRS review. Our team ensures that your study is defensible and compliant, giving you peace of mind while enjoying the long-term tax benefits of cost segregation.

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.
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.
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.

Common documents include the purchase agreement, closing statement, and any available property appraisals or construction records. Don’t have everything? No problem—our team can often work with limited documentation.
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.
