Real estate offers some of the strongest tax advantages available to investors. A cost segregation study identifies parts of your property that can be depreciated over shorter periods, which can accelerate deductions, reduce your taxable income, and improve cash flow. It applies to most investment properties that aren't your primary residence.

It's an engineering-based analysis that separates a property's costs into components with shorter depreciation lives, such as certain electrical, plumbing, and site improvements. Those components can be depreciated faster than the building itself.
Most investment properties that aren't your primary residence can qualify, including multifamily, commercial, and short-term rentals. Eligibility depends on your property and tax situation, so confirm with your tax advisor.

Start with the purchase price, acquisition date, and property type. If you have a prior appraisal or closing statement, uploading it can help the estimate. The full study may require additional documents.
The standard fee is $2,500 per property. Through Swell, the price is $2,000 per property, and you save an additional $150 per property when you submit more than 3 properties at once. [Confirm pricing with SetCo before publishing.]
