Cost Segregation Services
Are you a commercial property owner, real estate investor, or business owner looking to reduce your tax burden and increase cash flow? A cost segregation study is one of the most effective tax strategies available to real estate owners.

Whether you own a commercial building, rental property, or newly constructed facility, a cost segregation study can provide substantial tax benefits.
Cost Segregation - All you need to know
What Are Cost Segregation Services?
Cost segregation is an IRS-approved tax strategy that allows property owners to reclassify certain building components into shorter depreciation categories, significantly accelerating depreciation deductions.
Instead of depreciating your entire property over 27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial), cost segregation identifies parts of the property that can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years, allowing you to claim larger deductions sooner.
By conducting a cost segregation study, property owners can increase cash flow, reinvest savings, and reduce their overall tax liability.
Key Benefits of Cost Segregation Services
Outsourcing your controller services offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing expertise. Here’s why businesses choose to work with K-38 Consulting:
Accelerated Depreciation = Immediate Tax Savings
A cost segregation study speeds up depreciation deductions, allowing property owners to reduce taxable income and free up cash flow.
Maximized Real Estate Tax Deductions
By reclassifying assets into shorter depreciation lives, property owners can significantly increase deductions and improve financial performance.
Increased Cash Flow for Reinvestment
The upfront tax savings generated from cost segregation can be reinvested into additional properties, renovations, or business expansion.
Works for Both New & Existing Properties
Cost segregation is beneficial for newly acquired, newly constructed, and even existing buildings—allowing you to reclaim missed depreciation deductions from previous years.

Our IRS-approved cost segregation studies follow strict guidelines to ensure accuracy, compliance, and audit protection.

What Does a Cost Segregation Study Include?
A cost segregation study is a detailed engineering and tax analysis that breaks down a property’s components into accelerated depreciation categories.

Detailed Property Inspection
Our experts conduct a physical and financial analysis of your property to identify assets that qualify for shorter depreciation periods.

How Much Can You Save With
Cost Segregation?
The amount of tax savings depends on the size, type, and cost of your property. On average, cost segregation can:
- Reclassify 20-40% of a property’s value into shorter depreciation categories
- Generate 6-10% of the property’s cost in tax savings within the first five years
- Provide immediate tax benefits that free up capital for reinvestment
Example Tax Savings from Cost Segregation:
| Property Type | Property Cost | Estimated First-Year Tax Savings |
|---|---|---|
| Office Building | $5,000,000 | $500,000 - $750,000 |
| Retail Store | $2,000,000 | $200,000 - $400,000 |
| Apartment Complex | $10,000,000 | $1,000,000+ |
Every property is unique, so our cost segregation consultants will provide a customized tax savings estimate tailored to your real estate portfolio.
