The overview
Hotels are among the best candidates for cost segregation: FF&E, decorative lighting, millwork, pool and site improvements, and specialty electrical can often be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 39. Combined with bonus depreciation, that can convert a large slice of a purchase or renovation into first-year deductions.
To be clear about what we do: the engineering-based study itself is performed by specialized cost-segregation firms, not by us. Where we add value is everything around it—recognizing when you have a strong case, connecting you with a trusted study provider, and modeling the after-tax impact before you commit a dollar.
Once the study is done, we handle the part that's squarely in our lane: applying the results correctly on your return, layering in bonus depreciation and Section 179, and coordinating the timing with the rest of your tax plan so the benefit lands when it helps most.

Common questions
Do you perform the cost segregation study yourselves?
No—engineering-based studies are performed by specialized cost-segregation firms. What we do is spot the opportunity, connect you with a vetted provider, coordinate the engagement, and make sure the results are applied correctly on your return. You get the benefit without having to vet the market yourself.
I bought my hotel a few years ago—did I miss the window?
No. A look-back study (performed by the specialist) lets you claim the previously missed depreciation on your current return via an automatic accounting-method change (Form 3115), without amending prior years. We'll help you weigh whether it's worth pursuing.
