Is cost segregation allowed on the property itself or only the assets within a house?  I have heard different things on this topic.

I think cost segregation makes total sense for most investors, even for those where the return is only 2-3X.    But, and it is a BIG BUT, they are typically not less than a $1000.  Much closer to $4000-$5000.  Beware of just anyone doing these as you could be subject to an audit, and a group that does not follow proper IRS guidelines could ultimately get you in trouble.

In a bid to bolster domestic lumber production and potentially reduce housing costs, President Trump has signed an executive order to increase domestic logging activities in national forests and public lands. The move aims to address the ongoing challenges in the housing market, where mortgage rates are showing real signs of downward movement and tariffs on Canadian lumber threaten to drive up construction costs.

I work with a company that you should utilize to analyze the different properties you are looking at right now.  I have found them helpful for my investors.

Happy to discuss one on one.  We go coast to coast with the properties we manage.

You could look at doing a 1031 Exchange to avoid any tax hits this year.

I hope you are correct, and I agree with your assessment of the situation.   Not sure why property owners get the blame.

Bruce.   Are cost seg studies that expensive?   And are they considered a loss?  If I read that right it seems like you can only utilize any savings if you have a loss but I might be missing something in translation here.
