Breaking Down Cost Segregation for Everyday Investors with Erik Oliver

Erik Oliver specializes in helping real estate investors accelerate depreciation through cost segregation studies. In this conversation, Erik explains how buildings can be divided into individual components with different useful lives, allowing investors to access deductions much sooner than traditional depreciation schedules allow. He also discusses the return of 100% bonus depreciation, how passive activity rules affect tax savings, and why investor circumstances matter just as much as the property itself. Whether you own a single rental property or a large multifamily portfolio, this episode provides a practical introduction to one of the most discussed tax strategies in real estate.
