Cost segregation studies for rental and commercial property
Accelerate depreciation deductions into the current tax year — with an affordable, efficient study and a hometown team to explain it.
What a cost segregation study does
A building is made of many parts. Those parts can be separated into categories that are deducted on different timelines.
5-year property
- Carpet
- Appliances
- Decorative fixtures
7-year property
- Furniture
- Equipment
15-year property
- Parking lots
- Landscaping
- Fencing
Accelerated into year 1
Current year tax deduction
These parts are pulled forward and deducted now, instead of over decades.
27.5 / 39-year property
The building structure
27.5 years residential rental · 39 years commercial
The structure itself stays put — deducted slowly, over decades.
A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of a property into shorter depreciation schedules, accelerating deductions into the current tax year.
Is it worth it for your property?
If you own commercial or residential rental property, a cost segregation study can significantly accelerate your depreciation deductions — often resulting in substantial tax savings in the early years of ownership. It's a strategy that's well worth exploring if you've recently purchased or constructed investment property.
We provide cost segregation studies affordably and efficiently, so you can make a well-informed decision without a lengthy or expensive process. If you're not sure whether your property qualifies, reach out — we're happy to take a look.

Cost segregation questions
A building is made of many parts. A cost segregation study separates those parts into categories that are depreciated over shorter timelines — like 5, 7 or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 — which can accelerate deductions into the current tax year.
Cost segregation is usually worth exploring for commercial or residential rental property you've recently purchased or constructed. Try the free instant estimate on our cost segregation page, or reach out and we'll take a look.
