Cost-Segregation and how to start with it

[Tatyana Baytler]

Hi, I am investing in rental homes in Maryland and for years my CPA has been doing straight line depreciation , but recently i paid off some mortgages and got few more rentals, now i have a lot of taxes to pay. I have heard about Benefits of Cost-Segregation and asked my CPA his answer was: "you would need to hire an engineer who would do a cost segregation analysis on the property".

Does CPA should know how to do it? Can someone refer me to another CPA who would know himself?

Thank you!
