We are the fastest growing cost segregation firm in the United States…here’s why
The majority of cost segregation firms are subsidiaries of global accounting conglomerates (think Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, etc). Their ideal client is not an individual real estate investor like you (and us). Their ideal client is a large Fortune 500 corporation that is looking to get cost segregation studies completed on massive properties like skyscrapers and 1mm+ square foot warehouse projects.
As an individual investor, you can reach out to these organizations and they will take you on as a client…but you’re going to pay through the nose to get your study. They’ll fly someone out to your property (which you’ll pay for), will spend one or more days on site (which you’ll pay for), and will ultimately prepare a study at an inflated cost because in their eyes, your project is simply not worth their time when compared to the $500k+ cost segregation study they could do for a Fortune 500 corporation.
On the other side of the spectrum, you have the so-called “DIY” cost segregation study options. These studies are typically advertised between $500 – $1,000 per study, and are (transparently) glorified one-size-fits-all spreadsheet templates. They promise significant depreciation benefits at a low cost, which sounds great at face value…the problem is, they are not compliant with IRS guidelines.
Many of these studies segregate costs based on generic, flat percentages (irrespective of the actual details of your property) which is explicitly forbidden in the official IRS Cost Segregation Audit Guidelines. Investors who use these services are exposing themselves to significant long-term risk in the event of an audit, and may face significant back taxes and penalties with interest.
Remote Cost Seg has been built from the ground up by real estate investors, for real estate investors with one mission: to put as much money as possible back into the hands of individual real estate investors like you through cost segregation studies. Cost segregation studies are the only thing we do, and our team has been doing them for over 20 years. Because of our experience and process, we are the only firm we are aware of that is able to guarantee a minimum 5x ROI on our studies, and all of our studies are 100% custom to your property and your tax situation…which means our clients always receive the maximum depreciation benefits they are legally entitled to.
And because of our extensive experience, all of our studies are backed by our “Ironclad Audit” guarantee, meaning in the (unlikely) event that your study is audited, we are prepared to defend every line item in our study with the necessary proof and documentation to win, based on the IRS’s own guidelines.

Yes, you can be eligible for a Cost Segregation Study even if you have a W-2 job.
Cost segregation is not limited to individuals who are full-time real estate professionals or those with self-employment income. It can be beneficial for anyone who owns property, including individuals with W-2 income.
Accelerated depreciation itself is not taxable. Depreciation is a non-cash expense, meaning it’s a way to allocate the cost of an asset over its useful life for tax purposes. Accelerated depreciation allows you to deduct a larger portion of the asset’s cost in the earlier years of its useful life.
While the depreciation deduction reduces your taxable income, it doesn’t directly result in additional taxes.
While you don’t need to file the Cost Segregation Study itself with your tax return, the results of the study can significantly impact the information you report on your tax return. The details uncovered in the Cost Segregation Study, such as reclassified asset categories and their respective depreciation schedules, should be accurately reflected in your tax filings.
When we complete your cost segregation study, we will provide a report detailing the results of the study.
You or your CPA would then use this information to update your depreciation schedules on your tax return.
