Cost Segregation Studies for North and South Carolina
The Carolinas may have an old pedigree, but both are becoming hip and youthful states with burgeoning economies. With Charlotte, Wilmington, and Raleigh-Durham in the north and Greensboro, Spartanburg, and Columbia in the south, the Carolinas are full of prosperous cities and towns. While the traditional industries of farming, ranching, and growing cash crops are still big business, the Carolinas have a modernized economy with some of the most bleeding-edge industries out there. Entertainment, technology, banking, manufacturing, and even textiles are getting big.
North and South Carlonia are both excellent places to use cost segregation. Thanks to newer construction and a constant tide of renovations, there are many eligible commercial properties. A busy hurricane season only enhances this, especially for external short-life depreciation targets like landscaping and fencing. Apartments are the most frequent target and both Carolinas are loaded with multifamily housing. This type of commercial property offers ample opportunity for both internal and external components.
