Cost Segregation Studies in Miami

Miami may be the most glorious city in the United States and continues to bring in tourists worldwide. From diverse working-class communities to multi-million-dollar high-rises, Miami has a variety of neighborhoods and businesses. Whether it is transportation, tourism, entertainment, shipping, or any of the other litany of commercial property types, Miami is a prime candidate for cost segregation.

Due to the frequency of hurricanes and the stormy climate, Miami commercial properties are bountiful sources of short-life and long-term depreciation. These sources can be found inside a building, but exterior sources are often overlooked. Landscaping, fencing, parking lots or structures, lighting, and more are all external items that can be used for cost segregation. Apartment buildings and senior living buildings are two of the largest commercial property types in Florida, and Miami is no different. Such properties are rich in both internal and external opportunities.
