100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back — Act Before Congress Changes Its Mind

Unlock Accelerated Depreciation
for Your Single Family Rental

Q: What is cost segregation and how does it help SFR investors?

Cost segregation reclassifies components of your rental property into shorter depreciation categories (5, 7, and 15 years instead of 27.5 years), accelerating deductions into the early years of ownership. For single family rental investors, this means unlocking $20K–$50K+ in first-year deductions — reducing your taxable income significantly.

Q: What components of my rental property can be reclassified?

Common reclassifiable components include appliances, flooring (carpet and vinyl), cabinetry, landscaping, driveways and walkways, fencing, decorative lighting fixtures, and window treatments. These are classified as 5, 7, or 15-year property — not part of the 27.5-year building structure — and can be depreciated on an accelerated schedule.

Q: What do I need to order a study?

Just the basics: property address, purchase price, square footage, and year built. Our intake form takes about 5 minutes. No site visit required. Photos and documents (closing statement, tax assessment) are optional but can improve accuracy.

Q: How quickly will I get my report?

Studies are delivered in under 1 hour as a CPA-ready PDF sent to your email. Your CPA can use it directly — no additional formatting needed.

Q: Can I do a lookback study on a rental property I already own?

Yes. If you didn't do cost segregation when you bought the property, you can file a Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method) to catch up on missed depreciation — without amending prior returns. The full catch-up amount is taken in a single year.

Q: Is this study audit-defensible?

Yes. Our methodology follows the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide. Each study includes component-level analysis, IRS asset class citations, and supporting engineering narratives. We recommend all clients work with their CPA when filing.

Q: Is this a DIY cost segregation software?

No — we deliver a finished, CPA-ready study. There's no software to learn, no data to enter, and no guesswork on your end. You provide your property details at checkout, and we handle everything.

Why Interior Finishes & Site Improvements Matter for SFR Investors

Interior finishes, landscaping, and site work are the biggest missed depreciation opportunity for single family rental owners.

Carpeting, cabinets, appliances, landscaping, and driveways are 5 and 15-year depreciable property — not part of the 27.5-year building structure. Most standard depreciation schedules treat everything as one bucket, leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

With bonus depreciation, eligible interior and site components can be deducted in Year 1 — turning your property improvements into immediate deductions.

SFR properties typically have $20K–$50K+ in shorter-life components.
Without cost segregation, those deductions are spread over 27.5 years instead of taken in Year 1.
