The cost segregation study performed by Seneca Cost Segregation found $1,403,836 in assets that qualified for faster depreciation through 5 and 15-year property reclassifications. This led to a tax savings of $415,535 in the first year alone, thanks to 80% bonus depreciation. The study's impact goes beyond just the first year, with tax benefits worth $1,314,748 over 15 years. When reinvested, these savings will help the Multi-Family investors acquire another property faster, improving their return even more, showing just how valuable cost segregation can be for multi-family investors and real estate investors at large.
