I paid over $7,000 for a cost segregation study on my own rental. It took weeks — and the output was far simpler than expected.
CostSegSmart was built to deliver the same IRS-compliant results in under an hour, at a fraction of the cost. Same methodology. Same audit protection. Radically faster and more affordable.
A cost segregation study is an engineering-based analysis that reclassifies components of your property into shorter IRS depreciation categories (5, 7, and 15 years) instead of the default 27.5 or 39 years. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, reducing your tax bill in the early years of ownership.
Short-term rentals are typically furnished with furniture, appliances, electronics, linens, kitchenware, and décor — all of which qualify as 5-year personal property under MACRS. This FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) often represents 15-20% of the property's depreciable basis, significantly increasing the accelerated depreciation amount compared to unfurnished long-term rentals.
Yes. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act permanently restored 100% bonus depreciation for property placed in service in 2025 and beyond. This means you can deduct the full amount of accelerated depreciation identified in your cost segregation study in year one.
Our studies are delivered in 3-5 business days. You provide the property address, purchase price, and closing date — we handle everything else using assessor records, satellite imagery, and construction cost databases. No site visit or tenant disruption required.
