@Kerry Baird Love hearing about others taking advantage of cost segregation studies.

Most cost segregation firms will provide a free cost/benefit analysis quote to help you determine if the tax benefits from the study will outweigh the costs.

Quote from @Stacy Banks: Hello I wanted to know what does it cost to do foundation & framing for a 1,500sq ft house being built in Lehigh Acres Florida.  

With that said, the income can still offset the cost of holding the property as a long-term investment.

To be brutally honest i don't care if it's at cost, below or above, I only care what it is exactly and how much. 

Cost segregation utilizes the MACRS approach.

It would/could be only 15% capital gains tax and yes you could/would deduct all selling costs including commissions and transfer taxes.

What should it cost?

It is my understanding that the new owner will have the house at the cost basis of my purchase price, for calculating capital gains taxes or depreciation.For gift tax purposes for you - FMV.For capital gain tax purposes for the recipient - your original basis/purchase price 

Tax Savings with Cost Segregation: With a $2M property, cost segregation allows $316k depreciation in year one instead of $28k.
