Real Estate Cost Segregation Services
Frankeberger Vausher + Company, CPAs makes available to real estate owners a tremendous tax benefit.  Cost Segregation is a technical service that segregates component real estate assets into more appropriate tax lives.  This asset depreciation technique yields enhanced depreciation deductions and therefore substantially increases your cash flow.  The procedure generates cash tax savings by carving out shorter lived assets normally embedded in a buildings construction or acquisition costs, which typically have much longer depreciation periods.  The result is often very substantial cash flow savings.  See graph for an estimated percentage of savings by industry.

A Cost Segregation study may be conducted on any building that has been placed in service by a tax paying company or individual that does not show an operating loss. Cost segregation studies of projects with a capitalized cost of $2 million or more that are less than ten years old are worth completing. In addition, recent regulations have been kind to taxpayers in that they have allowed "catch up" depreciation all in the first year of the study. 

We have performed numerous cost segregation studies on nearly all building types. Since the 1997 landmark case Hospital Corp of America (109 TC 21) established the principles of cost segregation, Frankeberger Vausher + Company and our strategic partners have been diligent in structuring this benefit opportunity and making it available to you.
