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 commissioned an engineering-based cost segregation study, reclassified roughly 28% of basis into 5-, 7-, and 15-year lives, and paired it 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.
