Frequently Asked Questions
What types of properties work best?
Commercial properties, multi-family residential (apartments), hotels, and any property over $500,000 typically see the best results. Properties with significant personal property components (fixtures, equipment) benefit most.
How accurate are the estimates?
Our estimates are based on thousands of actual cost segregation studies and use IRS-approved methodologies. While every property is unique, our estimates are typically within 10-15% of a full engineering study.
Do I need a full cost segregation study?
Our analysis helps you determine if a full study makes sense. If the estimated benefits exceed the cost of a study (typically $5,000-15,000), we recommend proceeding with a certified study for IRS compliance.
Can I use this for properties I already own?
Yes! You can perform retroactive cost segregation studies on properties you've owned for years. We'll calculate the catch-up depreciation you can claim.
Is this IRS compliant?
Our calculations follow IRS guidelines and recognized methodologies. However, for actual tax filing, you should work with a qualified CPA and potentially get a full engineering-based study.
