Erik Oliver is a cost segregation expert and helps saving tax dollars for Real Estate Investors Nationwide. Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation. Depending on the type of building, there can be anywhere from 20 to 35% and sometimes more of the depreciable basis that can accelerated, translating into tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in current year tax savings.   Consider the value of having and being able to use those tax dollars today vs. spreading them out over 27.5 or 39 years. Cost Segregation can be used at pretty much anytime during the cycle of building ownership, including new construction, current acquisitions, previous acquisitions going back as much as ten or fifteen years, large improvement projects, following a step in basis from a change of ownership or estate transfer, and sometimes even at disposition to offset some of a capital gain. Cost Segregation is an engineering-based analysis of a building’s interior, exterior and land improvements in order to identify, measure and quantify assets that are considered personal property or land improvements under the federal tax code. Those assets are then re-classifying in order to accelerate their depreciation.Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation.
