Cost Segregation Studies

Maximize Your Tax Savings
post-image

At SureAdvisors, we specialize in helping property owners and investors significantly reduce their tax burden through strategic cost segregation studies. Our expert team will analyze your commercial or residential rental property to accelerate depreciation deductions and improve your cash flow.

What is a Cost Segregation Study?

A cost segregation study is a detailed analysis of a property's components that allows you to depreciate certain building elements over shorter time periods. Rather than depreciating the entire property over 27.5 or 39 years, we can identify components that qualify for 5, 7, or 15-year depreciation schedules. This accelerated depreciation provides substantial tax savings, especially in the early years of property ownership.

Key Benefits:

  • Increased cash flow through accelerated depreciation deductions
  • Defer federal and state income taxes
  • Potential to write off 30-35% of a building's cost in the first year
  • Retroactive benefits available for properties acquired in previous years

Who Can Benefit from Cost Segregation?

Cost segregation studies can benefit a wide range of property owners, including:

  • Commercial real estate investors
  • Owners of multi-family residential properties
  • Developers of new construction
  • Purchasers of existing buildings
  • Those who have recently renovated or expanded a property

If you've acquired, constructed, or improved a property in the last 15 years with a cost basis of $500,000 or more, you may be an excellent candidate for a cost segregation study.

Is my property eligible for cost segregation?

Most commercial and residential rental properties with a cost basis of $500,000 or more can benefit from a study. Contact us for a free analysis of your potential savings.
