Real Estate Investment Bulletins

Advisory bulletins for those involved with real estate -- owners, investors, REITs, CFOs, accountants, lenders, brokers and attorneys.
Cost Segregation
Cost segregation involves separating up to 130 components of real estate that depreciate faster than the building itself. Taxpayers can depreciate many components of real estate using a five, seven, or 15-year recovery period. Within permissible bounds, there is a huge tax savings opportunity for depreciating this property accurately.

Many CPA’s have filed extensions for their clients, and as such will still have the opportunity to take advantage of a cost segregation study. More information about cost segregation, the IRS Audit Techniques Guide, or calculating your potential savings is available online.
