What is Cost Segregation?
Cost segregation is a strategic tax planning tool that allows real estate owners to accelerate depreciation deductions. By identifying and reclassifying personal property assets (like carpeting, lighting, and landscaping) to shorter depreciation lives (5, 7, or 15 years) rather than the standard 27.5 or 39 years, you can significantly reduce your current taxable income.
Why it matters for investors:
- Increase Cash Flow: Deferring taxes means more cash on hand today to reinvest or cover expenses.
- Catch-up Depreciation: You can often claim missed depreciation from prior years without amending past returns.
- Bonus Depreciation: Take advantage of 100% (2026) bonus depreciation on eligible assets.
