Cost Segregation
One of the most powerful tax strategies in real estate — and one of the most underused.
What is cost segregation?
When you buy or build a property, the IRS normally makes you write it off slowly — over 27.5 or 39 years. A cost segregation study breaks the building into its parts (flooring, fixtures, wiring, landscaping, and more) and moves the pieces that qualify onto much faster 5-, 7-, and 15-year schedules.
The result: bigger deductions now instead of decades from now — which means more cash in your pocket to reinvest today. On the right property, it’s not a small number.
Engineered Tax Services has completed tens of thousands of these studies. Their engineers document every component the right way, so the deductions hold up — and they’ll tell you straight whether a study even makes sense for your property before you spend a dime.
