Cost Segregation Is A Process That Allows You To Unlock Massive Tax Savings: Discover the Secret to Keeping More of Your Hard-Earned Money!
Do you feel you’re paying too many taxes for your investment property, or you own a business with real estate as part of it?
If you have purchased property worth at least $450,000 or have had $500,000 in improvements and plan to hold on to the property for 3+ years, you can capture thousands in tax benefits.
Surprised?
Paying a lot in taxes means you make good money, but you need to pay a lot to the IRS as well.
The piece of the puzzle you’ve been missing is using depreciation. Put simply, depreciation reduces your taxable income.
Traditional depreciation methods spread out deductions over long periods, leaving you paying more upfront than necessary.
This outdated approach means you’re essentially giving the IRS an interest-free loan.
Cost segregation helps you find things on your property that reduce your taxable income. And when your taxable income goes down, you pay less in taxes.

Discover how much you could save with a professional cost segregation study from Seneca Cost Segregation.
Depreciation is a yearly tax deduction that lets you spread out the cost of certain property over the time you use it.
It’s like how a car loses value as it gets older.
Let’s say you purchase a fancy car worth a lot, but each year, it becomes a little less valuable because it gets worn out, has more miles on it, or newer models come out.
What’s the car?
It’s seats, an engine, brakes, tires, a frame, etc. These parts of the car have certain useful lives before they are expected to be worth $0. When all the parts are worth $0, the car is worth $0.
The same happens with residential and commercial investment property.
Everything in and on the property has an assigned useful life.
As the property is used, you’ll need to replace the roof, re-paint it, replace gutters, windows, doors, flooring…
Depreciation helps you account for this loss in value over time and cost segregation finds the useful life amounts of everything that makes up your property.
With this knowledge, a cost segregation study uncovers hidden savings and significantly reduces your tax liability. These savings are hidden in plain sight for you to take advantage of.
Here’s where cost segregation comes into play. Think of it as an X-ray for your property.
The study takes an accounting of every item on your property (doors, windows, fencing, roof, etc.) and breaks down the “useful life” of each item.
Another word for “useful life” is depreciation.
Using the cost segregation study to identify what items have shorter useful lives, real estate investors can pull forward depreciation that would otherwise take decades to claim.
And because depreciation reduces taxable income, the investor saves money on taxes, freeing up money to reinvest and build wealth.
