# SMF Cost Segregation Advisors

> SMF Cost Segregation Advisors provides IRS-compliant cost segregation studies for short-term rentals (STR), single-family rentals (SFR), and small multifamily (SMF) properties nationwide. We help real estate investors accelerate depreciation and reduce taxable income through engineering-based property analysis.

## What We Do

SMF Cost Segregation Advisors specializes in cost segregation studies that reclassify building components from 27.5-year to 5, 7, and 15-year recovery periods. This accelerates depreciation deductions, allowing property owners to claim 20-40% of their building's depreciable basis in year one.

## Who We Serve

- Single-family rental investors
- Small multifamily property owners (2-10 units)
- 2-4 unit "plex" owners
- Real estate investors with properties purchased, constructed, or renovated since 2017

## 100% Bonus Depreciation (2025)

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service in 2025 and beyond. This means 5, 7, and 15-year property identified through cost segregation can be fully expensed in year one.

3. Virtual site inspection with experienced specialist
