Cost Segregation: Accelerate Depreciation & Unlock Tax Savings for Rental Property Investors

Do a cost seg go to theWealthElevator.com/costsegLane hosts a monthly investor “lunch and learn” webinar replay on cost segregation with guest AJ Lyons of DIY Cost Seg, explaining how cost seg reclassifies non-structural property components into shorter 5- and 15-year lives to accelerate depreciation versus standard 27.5-year (residential) or 39-year (commercial) schedules, often pulling a significant portion of deductions into year one, especially when 100% bonus depreciation applies. They discuss who benefits (rental owners, short-term rentals, commercial, value-add renovations), timing (including doing studies after purchase via amended returns or Form 3115), CPA coordination, potential use cases like short-term rental material participation or real estate professional status, depreciation recapture considerations, pricing and fast report delivery, and audit defensibility and optional audit support. Lane also announces an accredited investor retreat Jan 15–17, 2027 and directs viewers to thewealthelevator.com/costseg and related resources.00:00 Depreciation Big Picture00:56 Retreat And Webinar Intro02:15 Lunch And Learn Setup03:37 Cost Seg Basics Explained06:27 Bonus Depreciation And CPA Fit09:39 Not A Loophole History17:35 Who Benefits And Pricing21:11 Fast DIY Process Walkthrough23:26 Audit Risk And Support28:01 Timing And Catch Up Rules30:24 Q And A Recapture Value38:39 Wrap Up And Next Steps Hosted on Acast.
