Cost Segregation Studies for Virginia
Virginia is about as old-school as they come, being one of the original 13 colonies and the originator of southern American culture. While history still holds sway over Virginia, it is also quickly racing towards the future. With a population that is getting younger and more educated by the year and a changing economy, Virginia is looking to be an entirely different animal in the next decade. While farming is still important in Virginia, technology, communications, defense contracting, and software development are all cornerstones of the new economy.
The shifting demographics and economy open up a lot of commercial property to cost segregation. Newer construction, newly acquired buildings, and those with extensive renovations all qualify for cost segregation, the only IRS-mandated way to use accelerated depreciation to lower income taxes. This grants commercial owners in Virginia the opportunity to generate a new source of cash flow, allowing for more construction or renovation. An economy in transition, like Virginia’s, is the best target possible.
