Cost Segregation Services

Maximize your property investment returns through accelerated depreciation and strategic tax planning.

What is Cost Segregation?

A cost segregation study is a powerful federal income tax tool that enhances near-term cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions and deferring taxes. With a cost segregation analysis, you could potentially write off up to 30-35% of your building's original purchase price within the first year.

Buildings depreciate over time, but they're not just single entities. They consist of various subcomponents like lighting fixtures, heating and air conditioning systems, and other elements that can be depreciated over shorter periods, significantly boosting your cash flow.
