Bonus Depreciation Conformity: Does not conform to federal rules
California does not conform to federal bonus depreciation. However, cost segregation still accelerates California depreciation into shorter recovery periods, and the federal benefit alone is substantial. Investors may need separate state and federal depreciation schedules.

For La Mirada investors, the typical ROI ranges from 5x to 20x the cost of the study, depending on property value and type. A single-family rental with a $300,000 building basis might generate $20,000-$30,000 in first-year tax savings from a study costing $1,750-$2,750.
For most residential properties in La Mirada, we conduct a virtual site visit via FaceTime or video call. This is faster, less disruptive to tenants, and produces the same quality results as an in-person visit.
The best time is as soon as the property is placed in service or after a major renovation. For La Mirada properties acquired in the current tax year, completing the study before your filing deadline maximizes the first-year benefit.
In La Mirada, 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 La Mirada, a $500,000 property might only have a $200,000 building basis. We use defensible methods to establish the land allocation for maximum benefit.
