Cost Segregation Services

 

Accelerate Depreciation. Reduce Taxes. Increase Cash Flow.

Every dollar you overpay in taxes is money that cannot be invested back into your business or your real estate portfolio.


At Chatman Advisory Services, we help real estate investors, business owners, and property owners determine whether a Cost Segregation Study can significantly reduce current tax liability while improving cash flow.  

Through our nationwide network of experienced engineering professionals, we connect qualified property owners with IRS-compliant cost segregation studies designed to maximize available depreciation benefits. Cost segregation studies identify qualifying building components that may be depreciated over shorter recovery periods than the building itself, potentially accelerating depreciation deductions where appropriate. 

What Is Cost Segregation?

Cost Segregation is a tax planning strategy that identifies certain components of a commercial or residential investment property that may qualify for shorter depreciation lives under the Internal Revenue Code. 

Rather than depreciating an entire building over:

  • 27.5 years (Residential Rental Property) 
  • 39 years (Commercial Property) certain qualifying assets may be eligible for shorter recovery periods, subject to applicable tax rules.

Potential qualifying assets may include:

  • Flooring 
  • Cabinetry 
  • Decorative lighting 
  • Specialty electrical systems 
  • Landscaping 
  • Parking lots 
  • Sidewalks 
  • Fencing 
  • Outdoor improvements 
  • Certain plumbing components 
  • Site improvements 

This acceleration may create larger depreciation deduction


Benefits of Cost Segregation
