Bonus Depreciation Is Back at 100% — Are You Using It?

Most real estate investors know depreciation exists. Almost none of them are using it right in 2026.The One Big Beautiful Bill brought 100% bonus depreciation back — and if you own investment real estate and pay taxes, this conversation is for you. I sat down with tax strategist Greg Taylor (Taylor Tax Strategy, 49 states) and cost segregation expert David Wiener, aka Mr. Cash Flow, to break down exactly how this works and whether it makes sense for your portfolio.✅ What is cost segregation and how does it actually work — the 5, 7, and 15-year buckets explained in plain English✅ How one investor with $1.7M in annual profit paid only $17,000 in taxes — and how it was done legally✅ Who should NOT do a cost segregation study (this strategy isn't for everyone)✅ The California trap — why the One Big Beautiful Bill's bonus depreciation is federal only, and what that means for your state return✅ The "cash in the trash" strategy — how to write off everything you tear out during a renovation, including the haul-away costsGreg and David are both available nationally.
