Maximize tax savings
on every rental property

No site visit required, and the IRS doesn't mandate one. Our US-based engineers complete your study from property photos, purchase documents, and building records. These are the same inputs used in a traditional study. You upload your documents, we handle the analysis, and you receive a 100+ page report in 3 to 5 business days. No scheduling, no travel, no delays.

Your completed study is delivered in 3 to 5 business days. Traditional firms often take 30 to 60 days. Once you purchase and upload your documents, our engineers begin analysis immediately. You'll receive a 100+ page engineering report, formatted and ready for your CPA to use on your return.

Most studies only require three things: your closing disclosure (or HUD-1), property photos, and your current depreciation schedule if you already own the property. After you purchase, we walk you through exactly what to upload. If anything is missing, we'll let you know before work begins.

Cost segregation is an IRS-recognized strategy with its own published Audit Technique Guide. When it's done right, using engineering-based methodology, proper documentation, and applicable law citations, it's a defensible position, not a red flag. Every study we deliver is built to that standard. And if the IRS ever asks questions, we provide full audit support at no additional cost.

Bonus depreciation lets you deduct the full cost of qualifying short-life assets in the year a property is placed in service, rather than spreading deductions over decades. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed July 4, 2025, restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service on or after January 19, 2025. A cost segregation study identifies which components of your property qualify, so you can claim the maximum deduction upfront.

The best time is the year you place your property in service. That's when you capture the full benefit of bonus depreciation. A change in use, such as converting a primary residence to a rental, is another ideal trigger. But those aren't the only situations. If you already own investment property and never had a study done, you can still catch up on missed deductions. Your CPA can help determine the best timing for your specific tax situation.

There's no hard rule, but the question is always return on investment. At $2,200 flat, the math works at lower property values than it does with firms charging $5,000 to $15,000. As a general guide, properties valued at $200,000 or more typically produce enough reclassifiable assets to pay for the study many times over in year one.

Results vary by property, but industry averages show that 20 to 45 percent of a property's value is typically reclassifiable to shorter depreciation schedules. These are assets that can be expensed far faster than the structure itself. At a flat fee of $2,200, most property owners recover the study cost in year one through tax savings alone. Your CPA can give you a precise estimate based on your situation.

Any residential investment property used for rental or business purposes can qualify, including single-family rentals, multifamily buildings, condominiums, townhomes, and short-term rentals. The property must be held for business or investment use, not as a primary personal residence. If you're unsure whether your property qualifies, a free estimate is a fast way to find out before you commit.

Short-term rentals with an average guest stay under 7 days are treated differently than long-term rentals under the tax code. If you materially participate in your STR, the IRS may classify it as a non-passive activity. That means losses can potentially offset your ordinary W-2 income. Cost segregation accelerates those losses significantly. How this applies to your situation depends on your specific circumstances. Your CPA confirms eligibility; we provide the study they need to act on it. Read more about how the STR loophole works.

Your CPA uses the study to update your depreciation schedules, apply bonus depreciation elections, and file Form 3115 to claim prior years in one shot if you're catching up on a property you already own. Our reports are formatted to be CPA-ready. If your accountant has questions about the analysis, we're available to support them directly at no additional cost.
