More Than One Depreciable Asset

Residential rental buildings are generally depreciated over 27.5 years. However, certain qualifying components of an investment property may be eligible for shorter depreciation recovery periods when properly identified and classified.
A fully engineered cost segregation study reviews the property’s components to identify eligible assets, document their costs, and support the appropriate depreciation treatment.

Accelerated Eligible Depreciation

Certain qualifying components may receive shorter recovery periods.

Potential Cash Flow Benefits

Earlier eligible deductions may improve near-term cash flow depending on an investor's tax circumstances.

Professional Asset Documentation

A completed study provides structured findings for review and implementation with your tax advisor.
