Cost Segregation

Cost Segregation is an IRS-approved application by which commercial property owners can accelerate depreciation and reduce the amount of taxes owed.  In many cases, property owners can realize cash flow from tax savings of 7%-10% of building costs within the first five years of ownership.  That's $70K-$100K for each $1M in building costs!  This savings generates cash flow that owners often use to reinvest in the business or purchase more property.

How Does Cost Segregation Work?

Cost Segregation Services, Inc. (CSSI), an experienced and qualified engineering company, performs the cost segregation study on your client's commercial property.  The study accelerates the depreciation of the building/renovation components into faster depreciation categories such as 5-, 7-and 15-year rather than conventional 27.5-and-39-year schedules.

This engineered cost segregation study results in a much higher depreciation expense and significantly reduced taxable income for the property owner.  Best of all, the IRS ruling states cost segregation can be applied to all categories of buildings purchased or built since 1986, including renovations.

How Can Cost Segregation Benefit You?

•·     We offer our partnering brokers and developers a free property analysis of each listing so you can provide your customer up-front examples of the effect of cost segregation on his or her potential real estate purchase.

•·     Introducing cost segregation savings to your client offers an additional sales incentive with your company.

•·     Clients may request the after-tax cash savings be reserved against debt service which increases the debt service coverage ratio for each loan client.  This reduces risk and improves your client's chances of receiving a loan.

•·     Assisting your client with a reduction in their taxes and helping get their loan approved lays the groundwork for a happy, loyal client.  Money saved may even be used to increase the client's budget resulting in a larger sale while also cementing a positive relationship for future business with your firm.

•·     CSSI can also work with you to apply our services to existing clients who have already invested in commercial property and will benefit from the "opportunity capital" the cost segregation application may generate.

•·     We offer our partner's exclusive access to CSSI's Building Investment Quotient® (BIQ).  In just minutes, this exclusive web-based application will allow you to provide your client real-time illustrations of the tax savings and increased cash flow of a cost segregation study.
