To do so requires you to distinguish the costs of personal property (flooring, cabinetry, etc.) from the cost of the building's structure. Through a cost segregation study, we identify the total costs allocable to all building components and land improvements and then recategorize them by asset class and useful life. This results in massive tax deductions for the first 1-3 years of owning that property by frontloading a large portion of the total allowable deductions you may claim.
