Why Long Term Rental Owners Need Cost Segregation

Long term rental property owners using straight-line depreciation over 27.5 years are leaving significant tax savings on the table. A cost segregation study reclassifies 20-40% of your building's depreciable basis into 5-, 7-, and 15-year asset categories, accelerating deductions and improving cash flow from day one.

Real Estate Professional Status (REPS)

If you or your spouse qualifies as a Real Estate Professional under IRC Section 469(c)(7), you can use accelerated depreciation from cost segregation to offset unlimited W-2 and ordinary income. REPS requires 750+ hours of material participation in real estate activities and more than half of your total working hours in real estate.
