If you want better cashflow from your portfolio, but you are tired of hearing that the only answer is to go buy another property…
Then you’ll want to register for our next live session on October 27th.
You’ll discover how property owners work with engineers and their CPAs to break a building into its component parts, and what that does to the depreciation they are allowed to claim.
You’ll also learn why the timing of a deduction matters as much as the size of it, which properties are worth studying, and which ones are not worth the paperwork. We will be direct about both.
Matt Bontrager, CPA is handling the tax side. Dylan Scandalios is handling the engineering side. The last stretch of the hour is yours, and we answer questions live rather than sending you to a form.
Register today to save your seat.
Seneca Cost Segregation & TrueBooks
Six segments, in this order. Five are taught, and the last one is yours.
In plain language. What engineers look for inside a building, which components get reclassified, and why the IRS has a framework for it.
Dylan · engineering
Accelerated depreciation changes when you take the expense, not whether you can. Matt walks through what that does to a return.
Matt · tax
Property type, purchase price, holding period and renovation history all move the answer. We will name the situations where a study is a waste of your money.
Both
Passive activity limits, real estate professional status, short-term rental treatment, and what happens when you sell. This is the part most trainings skip.
Matt · tax
The documents you pull, how a virtual site visit works, what your CPA receives, and how a look-back on a property you already own is handled.
Dylan · engineering
Bring your property. Ask about it directly. This runs until the questions do, rather than stopping at the top of the hour.

The tax side
Matt is a CPA and the managing partner at TrueBooks, a practice built around real estate investors and the tax questions that come with owning property. He spends his year inside these returns, which is why he can tell you where the rules bite instead of where they sound good.
Teaching: depreciation timing, passive activity limits, REPS, and what happens at sale.
The engineering side
Dylan leads Seneca Cost Segregation, where the work is engineering-based studies for owners of residential, commercial and short-term rental property. He will show you what actually happens inside a study, including the parts owners never see.
Teaching: component classification, the site visit, and what your CPA receives.
Engineers assess the property and classify the components. That is the method the IRS expects, and it is the only kind of study Seneca produces.
Every study follows the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide, documented so your CPA can work from it and defend it.
Seneca’s team covers the whole country, with virtual or on-site tours depending on the property and the timing you need.

The questions people ask us before they sign up, answered straight.
This is about how it gets treated on paper. Sixty minutes, two people who do this daily, and a Q&A that runs until the questions do.
“Their team was incredibly professional, prompt, and easy to work with.”
