Cost Associated with A Cost Segregation Study

[Ellie H.]

About how much would it cost to have a cost segregation on a townhome? I've see anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000. 

Who conductus the study?

We just switched to a new CPA that assured us he has "several" clients with investment properties. However, we didn't any tax benefits from our rental in our returns. When I aske him about a cost segregation he changed the subject as if I wouldn't want to do that. We have one rental with 4 doors for the past two years.

Costs for a cost segregation study can vary widely, ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on factors like property size and complexity. The study is typically conducted by a qualified team of professionals, including engineers and tax specialists, who specialize in cost segregation analysis. If your current CPA is avoiding the topic and not providing tax benefits for your rental property, it might be wise to seek a second opinion or consult with a specialist in real estate taxation to ensure you're maximizing your deductions appropriately. Good luck & happy investing!
