Maximize Your Profits with Cost Segregation

Geoffrey Gan

CEO|GTG Consulting

What is cost segregation?

Cost Segregation is a tax-saving strategy used by real estate investors to accelerate depreciation, reducing current and future tax liabilities. Typically, properties are classified as a single asset with long depreciation periods. Cost Segregation identifies and reclassifies assets within the property into shorter depreciation periods, such as 5, 7, or 15 years. This results in higher deductions, improving cash flow by fully depreciating assets over a shorter timeframe. Essentially, it’s about maximizing the value of tax savings today, as money saved now can be invested for greater returns compared to future savings due to inflation.
