Although the study may increase the gain, the gain may be taxed at a much lower rate making it a beneficial investment.If a property is purchased with the intention to flip or own for a short period of time (less than 3 years), a cost segregation study may not be significant.SHOULD I GET A COST SEGREGATION STUDY BEFORE OR AFTER REHABBING MY PROPERTY?

@Landon Sheveland People do fix and flips while living into the property to classify the property as primary residence and not pay any capital gain taxes. if that is your intention, don't use LLC to establish this as your LLC.If your goal is different compared to what I said above, you can use LLC.

Dmitri then called the 10K an "onboarding fee" as a means of justifying why the fee would have to come first and reiterated that it would be 10K up front for every property I might want to purchase (if my intent was to purchase 2 properties it would be 20K up front, and if my plan was to buy 5, then it would be 50K up front).
