When does a Cost Seggregation Study make sense?

[Angelina Callaway]

I have two SFH rental properties. Each are moderately updated. One of them needs a new deck and fence. When does it make sense to do a cost segregation study? Is it best to do one after all updates are made to a property or is it ok to do it after several large updates like deck, fence, and floors?

Any recommendations on cost seg companies in Northern VA?

Cost Segs are best done when you have a high tax bill and qualify for active real estate professional. This year is the last year of 100% bonus depreciation so your write off will be larger, next year it goes down to 80. It helps to work with a tax planner to take all things into consideration and find the ideal timing.

@Yonah Weiss is great for studies.
