Cherrypick Capital's Real Estate Riches Meetup - Cost Segregation

May 1, 2024 4:11 am

To help understand what to expect from our cost segregation event, please see highlights below:

Purpose of Cost Segregation: Accelerates depreciation on investment properties, allowing investors to reduce or eliminate income taxes early in the ownership cycle by identifying and reclassifying personal property assets.

How Cost Segregation Works:
Building Basis Calculation: Subtract land value (non-depreciable) from purchase price.
Component Breakdown: Separate building components into categories with different depreciation timelines (5-year, 7-year, 15-year, 27.5-year for residential, 39-year for commercial).
Benefits Highlighted:

Tax Reduction: Immediate tax deductions through accelerated depreciation.
Cash Flow Improvement: Frees up cash by reducing tax liabilities which can be reinvested.
IRS Guidelines: Follows the IRS’s Audit Techniques Guide, which outlines acceptable practices for cost segregation.

Example Provided:
An apartment complex with a purchase price of $4.5 million can generate a significant depreciation claim in the first year, offsetting taxable income and effectively lowering tax payments.
Key Considerations:

Investment Horizon: Best suited for properties intended to be held for several years due to depreciation recapture issues.
Investor Status: More beneficial for active investors who can use the depreciation to offset income from real estate activities.
Eligibility and Approach:

Properties must have a significant building basis (generally over $50,000) to justify the cost of a study.
Different methodologies (full detailed engineering study versus modeling method) can be used based on the property's specifics and investor’s budget.
Strategic Advice:

Conduct cost segregation studies early after property acquisition to maximize benefits.
Engage professionals to ensure compliance and optimize outcomes.
Legal Disclaimer: Information provided is for educational purposes; investors should consult with professionals (CPA, tax advisor) before making decisions.
