Real Estate Investors & Property Owners
Accelerate Depreciation and Reduce Tax Liability Immediately
If you own commercial or residential investment property, Cost Segregation is one of the most effective tax strategies available.
Here is why
What Is Cost Segregation?
Many building components can be reclassified from long-term depreciation schedules (27.5 or 39 years) into shorter asset classes (5, 7, or 15 years). This provides:
Accelerated depreciation deductions.
Immediate reduction in tax liability.
Increased cash flow.
Ability to catch up lost depreciation from prior years without amending tax returns.
CASE STUDY: Commercial Real Estate Investor
Challenge: A commercial real estate investor acquired a $12M mixed-use property and was depreciating it over 39 years under standard IRS guidelines.
Solution: Legacy Group Consulting performed a detailed Cost Segregation study, reclassifying approximately 30% of the building cost basis into accelerated depreciation categories.
Result: $1.4M in accelerated depreciation in year one, resulting in approximately $490,000 in tax savings (assuming a 35% effective tax rate).
