When people hear "cost segregation," they picture the building. But the real savings are in the details most owners overlook.
A study reclassifies property components into faster depreciation schedules:
- 5-year: furniture, appliances, decorative lighting, carpeting
- 7-year: specialized equipment, depending on use
- 15-year: landscaping, fencing, sidewalks, parking lots, exterior signage
Instead of writing all of it off over 27.5 or 39 years, you accelerate a meaningful chunk into the early years - when the cash flow matters most.
