Cost Segregation Studies in New Hampshire — Save 20–40% on Taxes

Any owner of income-producing real estate with a depreciable building basis of at least $300,000 (excluding land) is eligible. This includes commercial properties, multi-family apartments, single-family rentals, short-term rentals, retail buildings, medical offices, industrial facilities, hotels, self-storage, and owner-occupied businesses. Both new construction and existing properties qualify, and lookback studies allow owners who purchased or renovated properties in the past 15 years to retroactively claim missed depreciation without amending prior tax returns.

Property owners typically save 20–40% or more of their building basis through accelerated depreciation. For example, a $1M property might generate $75,000–$200,000 in first-year deductions, while a $3M property could yield $200,000–$400,000. The average Seneca client achieves $171,243 in first-year savings. Your actual savings depend on property type, purchase price, improvements, and your tax bracket. We provide a free preliminary analysis to estimate your specific savings and ROI before you commit.

Virtually all income-producing properties qualify, including single-family homes, condos, multi-family properties (2–4 units and 5+ units), apartment complexes, hotels, office buildings, medical offices, industrial facilities, self-storage, retail buildings, restaurants, gas stations, auto repair shops, car dealerships, car washes, assisted living facilities, daycares, agricultural properties, recreation facilities, marinas, mobile home parks, and RV parks. Properties must be used for business or investment purposes and have a depreciable building basis of at least $300,000 for cost-effectiveness.

Most Seneca studies are completed within 2–4 weeks from the initial property inspection—significantly faster than the industry standard of 4–8 weeks. Virtual property tours typically result in 2–3 week turnaround, while on-site inspections may take 4–6 weeks depending on scheduling and property complexity. Rush service is available for clients with urgent deadlines, delivering studies in as little as one week. Our proprietary technology and streamlined process ensure rapid, accurate results without sacrificing quality or IRS compliance.

Study costs vary based on property size, complexity, and type. Entry properties ($300K–$1M basis) typically cost $3,000–$12,000; medium properties ($1M–$3M) cost $10,000–$20,000; large properties ($3M–$10M) cost $15,000–$30,000; and very large properties ($10M+) cost $30,000–$60,000 or more. The return on investment typically ranges from 10:1 to 25:1—meaning for every dollar spent on the study, you receive $10–$25 in tax savings. We offer free preliminary analysis, multiple property discounts, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Yes. Lookback cost segregation studies allow you to claim missed depreciation on properties purchased, constructed, or renovated up to 15 years ago. Using IRS Form 3115, you can claim all missed depreciation in a single year without amending prior tax returns. Lookback studies cost about the same as current-year studies and follow the same engineering-based process. Even if you don't have original construction records, our team can reconstruct information using industry databases and historical cost data to maximize your retroactive benefits.

Every Seneca study includes lifetime IRS AuditDefense at no additional charge. If your study is audited, we defend the report, provide all supporting documents, answer IRS field inquiries, and handle all audit-related communications for as long as you own the property. Our engineering-based methodology strictly adheres to IRS guidelines, resulting in a low-risk audit profile. If an audit occurs and the study has a material issue, we can even refund the cost of your study under our iron-clad guarantee.

After study completion, we provide comprehensive CPA coordination and implementation support at no additional charge. Your dedicated account manager works directly with your accountant to review the report, integrate depreciation schedules into your tax returns, and prepare Form 3115 if needed for lookback studies. We deliver fixed asset schedules formatted for CPA use, complete supporting documentation, and ongoing post-study support to ensure seamless implementation. Our team is available to answer any questions your tax professional may have throughout the filing process.
