A cost segregation study looks at the overall building that you purchased and breaks it down as much as possible.The purpose of this is to increase the depreciation expense.Without a cost segregation study, you are depreciating the property over two items(Building and Land).However, a cost segregation study might identify items such as fencing which might be eligible to be depreciated over 15 years instead of 27.5 years.Depending on the year that the building was placed into service, you might be able to take bonus depreciation on certain items.The follow-up question to ask your CPA is will the cost segregation study help me, and by how much?

The owner is living in the ADU and renting out both levels of the main house on AirBnb.

I have always been interested in home construction techniques that are different or older.Container homes, these sorts of shot-crete homes, bale homes etc.The biggest issue is not that fact that they will rent, for if they are in the right location, of course they will rent just fine.

Just got done reading the last thread.

I know there are a lot of professionals in the suburb that I am looking that need a place to meet clients but don't necessarily want to go to their downtown offices regularly.

But not the one I drive . 

     Firstly, this post is for anyone and everyone who hasn't had the opportunity to properly introduce themselves in the BP community.

Welcome to the forum!

When I used the Insight Property tool on BP it had the median rent at $2500 per unit. 

I would like to work with someone who knows the area.
