@Gabriel Litvack Cost segregation studies are not DIY projects unless you like spending time with IRS auditors. ;-)  The IRS' preferred methodology for a cost seg study is engineering-based. This requires someone experienced in engineering, construction and accounting. It also requires an on-site property review inside and outside by a professional. The difference in cost between a rule-of-thumb approach or "desk-top" study is simply not worth the risk and rarely gets you the same amount of tax benefits.
