Cost segregation freed $410K in first-year deductions
A new owner acquired a 78-room Comfort Inn and was depreciating the entire purchase price over 39 years, leaving significant cash on the table in the years they needed it most.
We spotted the opportunity, connected the owner with a vetted cost-segregation engineering firm, and then applied the study—reclassifying roughly 28% of basis into 5-, 7-, and 15-year lives—paired with bonus depreciation on the return.
The owner captured $410,000 in first-year deductions and redeployed the tax savings into the down payment on their second property within 14 months.
