OUR PROVEN METHODOLOGIES

Analytical Cost Estimate Approach (Modeling Approach)

Designed for residential 1–4 unit properties with a building basis under $1,000,000.

  • A cost-effective option that typically delivers results comparable to the detailed engineering cost estimate approach, but at a fraction of the cost.

  • Ideal for smaller investors looking to unlock tax savings without the expense of a full engineering study.

  • Case-by-case eligibility – not all properties qualify.

  • Delivers a defensible, audit-ready study that meets or exceeds IRS expectations.

Increase Cash Flow

Accelerated depreciation allows you to write off a larger portion of your property’s value in the early years of ownership. This means you keep more money in your pocket today to reinvest in your business, pay down debt, or expand your portfolio.

Maximize Tax Savings

Instead of depreciating your property evenly over 27.5 or 39 years, a cost segregation study allows certain assets—like lighting, flooring, HVAC, or landscaping—to be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years. This dramatically increases your deductions in the near term.

Strategic Tax Planning

Cost segregation is not just about this year’s return—it’s a proactive tax strategy. It gives you and your CPA the ability to better forecast liabilities, reduce quarterly payments, and create a roadmap for long-term wealth building.

Works for Many Property Types

From multifamily properties and hotels to office buildings and retail centers, cost segregation is a proven method to maximize tax benefits across almost every type of commercial or investment real estate.

Added Flexibility

With bonus depreciation provisions in play, cost segregation can supercharge your deductions even further. And if you sell or exchange your property, having a study completed ensures you can properly manage depreciation recapture
