When it comes to cost segregation, there are two main approaches. Understanding the difference is key to choosing the right one for your property.
Traditional Engineering-Based Study
This is the classic method. A team of engineers visits your property, analyzes blueprints, and performs a detailed analysis to classify assets.
- Pros: Extremely thorough and considered the gold standard for complex, high-value properties.
- Cons: Very expensive (often $5,000+), time-consuming, and not cost-effective for smaller residential properties.
Proprietary Software Platform (Our Method)
This is the modern approach. We use a combination of your guided inputs (property data and photos) and powerful proprietary software to perform the analysis.
- Pros: Extremely affordable, fast (under an hour), and specifically designed to be cost-effective for residential rentals. Our methodology is based on the same IRS guidelines as traditional studies.
- Cons: May not be suitable for highly unique or large-scale commercial properties that require an on-site engineering review.
