Discover Major Tax Reductions on Your Salem Real Estate Portfolio
Salem-area property owners are finding that a tax-planning technique called a cost segregation study can lower their taxes and save them tens of thousands of dollars each year in cash-flow. A cost segregation study is a legitimate way to accelerate depreciation for commercial and residential rental real estate. Salem
This engineering approach shifts assets to lower depreciable lives, meaning Salem investors are entitled to larger tax deductions in the first couple of years of ownership instead of waiting several decades.
The Mechanism Behind Cost Segregation
When you perform a cost segregation analysis, we evaluate individual construction components and systems in your property. Our cost segregation experts study plans, construction documents and physical inspections to classify specific assets that are eligible for the faster depreciation writeoffs.
Under current federal tax law, various components of a building can be assigned to shorter class lives (5, 7 or 15 years, as opposed to the traditional 27.5 or 39 years), which results in greater immediate deductions without decreasing the overall amount available for depreciation.
