Cost Segregation a powerful income tax strategy for commercial RE
Under current tax law, your building is set to depreciate over 27.5 or 39 years. But many assets like lighting, carpeting and cabinetry depreciate much faster than that.
Which means you shouldn’t have to wait all those years to get a tax deduction for them. You want your money now. Not over decades!
If you wait, your money could be worth significantly less than it is today.
So, is my property a good candidate? It only takes about 60 seconds to find out.

So let me ask the question again. Give us an example of a client you worked with. How much did the study cost? What kind of building was it. What was the outcome of the study? What were the savings on their taxes. Let's do a deal deep dive! This is your chance to shine here. Don't worry you won't be banned from bigger pockets, just educate the forum on an example.
