I work with a Cost Segregation company and we do a No Cost Analysis.
We have done over 6000 studies in each and every state and we have been involved with Cost Segregation from the very beginning.
Our Founder worked with one of the attorneys in the H.C.A. case (which made Cost Segregation Law),but its not about us,its about the Positive Economic Benefit that we have delivered to every one of our Clients over our 10 years of business.
I Disagree with an earlier post that says you should not do a study for a building less than 5M.
We have developed Processes and Protocols to deliver these studies to the small business owner.
A CSSI Study is an engineering analysis that reclassifies or segregates real estate components and improvements between real and personal property in order to accelerate the depreciation periods from 39 or 27.5 years to 15, 7, or 5 years.
Most of the time we suggest to run a free analysis on any Commercial or Investment Building with a cost of over $500K
By getting the numbers UPFRONT, it makes this a "Business Decision" and not a "Sales Pitch"
