Cost Segregation is a tax planning strategy that can provide companies and individuals who have acquired, constructed, or renovated real estate assets with increased cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions and reducing or deferring federal and state income taxes.
Cost Segregation is an engineering analysis of real estate assets performed to identify and segregate the costs associated with components that can be depreciated more quickly for federal and state income tax purposes.
Identify assets eligible for bonus or accelerated depreciation.
Increase your current depreciation expense and decrease your current tax liability.
Increase the cash flow and profitability of your real estate investments.
Cost Segregation is a powerful tax planning strategy available to companies and individuals who have unrecovered tax basis in real estate assets. Typical triggers for a Cost Segregation study include the acquisition, construction, renovation, or expansion of real estate assets.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions
Any type of income producing property acquired or placed in service after 1986 is potentially eligible for Cost Segregation. This includes office buildings, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, short term rentals, apartment buildings, self-storage facilities, etc. Sorry, you can’t cost seg your primary residence!
We are pleased to offer competitive fees for all our Cost Segregation studies. Fees for smaller properties start at $1,500. Discounts available for portfolios.
The best time to perform a Cost Segregation study is when the property is acquired or construction. Prior to filing your federal income tax return for the year.
No! You can still capture the benefit of Cost Segregation via a “look back” analysis. This process involves filaing a Form 3115 with your next tax return and allows you to “catch up” on any depreciation deductions you missed by not doing the Cost Segregation study the year you acquired or constructed the property.
We generally recommend that you hold the property for at least 3-5 years after completing a Cost Segregation study. For shorter hold periods, Cost Segregation may not make sense due to depreciation recapture. Like-kind exchanges can help mitigate this issue.
