Cost Segregation Services 

Our cost segregation studies Deliver on the Promise of helping clients realize all available benefits from their real estate holdings.

Cost segregation, an IRS approved method of re-classifying components and improvements to a commercial or residential rental building, can greatly reduce your taxable income and increase your cash flow.

Cost segregation can be a valuable tool for immediately increasing cash flow and creating tax-savings. The benefits of a cost segregation project are derived from accelerated depreciation based on classification of assets as personal property (5-year or 7-year depreciation) or land improvements (15-year) rather than real property (39-year or 27.5 year).

Example

A cost segregation study can be a benefit in many instances including new construction, major renovations, initial acquisitions and existing real estate holdings.

The following table illustrates the benefits of Skoda Minotti's Cost Segregation Services.
