Accelerate depreciation. Maximize your tax savings.

It is an engineering-based analysis that breaks a property into its components and reclassifies many of them into shorter depreciation lives (such as 5, 7, or 15 years) instead of the standard 27.5 or 39 years. That lets you take more depreciation sooner, which can lower your taxable income in the earlier years of ownership.

Owners of income-producing real estate are generally the best fit: residential rentals, short-term rentals, commercial buildings, and multifamily. It tends to make the most sense when you have a meaningful cost basis in the building and you are paying tax that the accelerated deductions can offset. Your CPA can confirm the fit for your situation.

Results vary with property type, cost basis, placed-in-service date, and your tax situation, so we do not promise a specific number. The value comes from moving deductions forward, which can improve cash flow in the early years. We will talk through what is realistic for your property when we scope the study.

Timelines depend on the property and how quickly we get the details we need, but our process is built to move quickly so you are ready well before your filing deadline. We will give you a clear timeline with your estimate.

Yes, and that is the point. We deliver a clear, defensible report with the schedules and documentation your CPA needs. Your CPA applies the results to your return. We do not file taxes or replace your tax advisor.

Yes. Residential and short-term rentals are typically scoped as standard studies, while commercial buildings, larger multifamily, and portfolios are custom-quoted to the asset and the number of properties.

Our studies are engineering-based and documented to align with IRS guidance, including the principles in the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide. No one can guarantee how a taxing authority will treat a position, but thorough documentation is exactly what supports it.
