Cost Segregation

Your Property Is Hiding a Tax Deduction Worth Thousands We'll Find It.

Cost segregation is one of the most powerful — and most underused — tax strategies available to real estate investors and property owners. EMCOL Group partners with engineering-based cost segregation specialists to conduct IRS-compliant studies that accelerate depreciation, dramatically reduce your taxable income, and free up cash flow you can reinvest today.

What Is Cost Segregation?

When you purchase or construct a building, the IRS typically allows you to depreciate the entire property over 27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial). However, many components of a building — wiring, flooring, fixtures, land improvements, and specialty systems — can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead.

A Cost Segregation Study identifies and reclassifies these components so you can take accelerated depreciation deductions in the early years of ownership — rather than spreading them over nearly four decades. The result: significantly lower taxable income now, and more cash in your pocket.

Value Statement

Most real estate investors are depreciating their properties on the IRS's default schedule — which means they are paying taxes today on income they did not need to. Cost segregation is not a loophole; it is a legitimate, IRS-sanctioned strategy that your CPA should be using. If they have not mentioned it, call EMCOL Group
