Studies

The rule that most accountants follow is that when you purchase a building, 20% of the cost of the purchase is allocated to land and 80% of the cost is allocated to the building which is depreciated over either 27.5 years (residential property) or 39 years (commercial property). Cost Segregation consultants can prepare a study of your acquisition costs that will break down the purchase price into components that are depreciated over much shorter periods of time, thereby reducing your taxable income resulting in less taxes currently being paid. We will match your purchase with one of our Cost Segregation experts to prepare the study.
