Cost segregation combined with bonus depreciation is huge.A lot easier to 1031 one 100 unit property than 100 individual houses.Apartment rehab often stays below the $2500 de minimis safe harbor per item (because apartment communities don't pay retail) - which means immediate deduction and no future depreciation recapture (i.e. an HVAC replacement may only cost $2400).Some apartment rehab above $2500 per item can be immediately deducted if it does not meet the 20% "unit of property" rules (i.e. replace one HVAC system in a ten unit building).

Same goes for HVAC systems, TV's, electronics, etc....3.
