Yes, we worked closely with experienced brokers, a knowledgeable transaction attorney, and a strong property management team, all of whom have been instrumental in ensuring a smooth process.

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: In 2025 the bonus depreciation rate is 40%.This means that if you bought a property for $1M in 2025, did a cost seg study and found $300K in eligible assets that you could depreciate, you could take 40% of that $300K as bonus depreciation to offset your income in the first year.40% of $300K = $120K.You then apply that $120K to the owner’s personal tax rate to find the final amount that they can defer in year 1.If your tax rate is 37%, you can defer $66.6K.This is a big deal even at the 40% bonus depreciation rate this year.It’s a massive benefit 

I’m new to dealing with this kind of issue and would appreciate guidance from someone more knowledgeable about how pressing this situation is and whether the quoted estimate is reasonable.

These options allow you to build knowledge and experience for free or even while getting paid to learn. 

Also, I didn't ask the bookkeeper to be sent out, send someone with construction knowledge.

Even the CEO's younger brother decided not to hang around - whatever his reasons are - it's too late for him unless he returned all the money he took out and fully disclosed  every illegal act he has personal knowledge of BEFORE the SEC/FBI show up at his door.I referred the "fronter" to a whistleblower law firm, but who knows if he followed up.

This can lead to significant tax benefits and improved cash flow.I'm here to share my knowledge and answer any questions you may have about cost segregation, how it works, and whether it's a good fit for your investment properties.

We have final site compliance plans in Columbus Ohio for large development projects and the only people that can do them are either an architect or a civil engineer. an architect is more versatile but the real knowledge is a civil engineer but you need to be able to stamp it for accuracy and you are putting your professional experience on the line. it has nothing to do with zoning. civil engineers don't really help with zoning that would be done by an entitlement group or zoning attorney. degree is probably mandatory before you can become a professional engineer but yes there is incredible demand for those services in our market. for subdivision development as well this is amazing skillset to have.  

The information shared is based on my experience and industry knowledge and should not be considered legal, tax, or financial advice.

@Kayenta Saucier recommend you chat with @Samuel Eddinger as he's very knowledgeable!
