Los Angeles, CA Cost Segregation

Los Angeles may be known for glitz, glamour, and traffic, but this belies the fact that LA is one of the biggest business hubs in the world. Outside of Hollywood, there is the Port of Long Beach, offices galore, international trade, and the largest manufacturing sector on the West Coast. Not to mention all the apartments, rental homes, and stores that must service the second-largest population in the United States.

Manufacturing, housing, and even entertainment can be used for cost segregation, any commercial property will do. With a city as big and wealthy as Los Angeles, short-life and long-term depreciation practically grows on trees. All of this, without regard for the industry, can be used by cost segregation to lower income taxes. A commercial property owner must meet a strict set of guidelines handed down by the IRS for this to happen, which ensures that all cost segregation reports use credible methods, accurate results, and correct documentation.
