A cost segregation study is one of the most powerful tools for 2026. It allows you to reclassify portions of a building (like fixtures, landscaping, and flooring) from 27.5/39-year property into 5, 7, or 15-year property. This lets you accelerate depreciation deductions, drastically lowering taxable income in the early years of ownershipâespecially with 100% bonus depreciation still in effect .
đ Tip: Best performed in the year you purchase, construct, or renovate a property.
Have you ever done a cost segregation study on a rental property? What was the impact?
