Eugene's outdoor recreation culture - Gateway to the Oregon Cascades - attracts lifestyle tenants willing to pay premium rents for proximity to trails and rivers.

The best time is as soon as the property is placed in service or after a major renovation. For Eugene properties acquired in the current tax year, completing the study before your filing deadline maximizes the first-year benefit.
In Eugene, the most common candidates are single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings (1-10 units). Properties with site improvements like parking lots, landscaping, and fencing tend to yield the highest accelerated depreciation.
Yes. Renovation is an ideal time to engage a cost segregation provider. You can segregate both the original building and new renovation costs. Old components being removed may qualify for a Partial Asset Disposition write-off.
Land is non-depreciable, so higher land values reduce the depreciable basis. In high-land-value areas of Eugene, a $500,000 property might only have a $200,000 building basis. We use defensible methods to establish the land allocation for maximum benefit.
