What types of properties are eligible for Cost Segregation?

Melanie Baldridge

Posted

Any type of income-producing property placed into service after 1986 qualifies for cost segregation, making this tax strategy widely applicable across the real estate spectrum.

We frequently work with both residential properties, including single-family rentals, multi-family buildings, and short-term rentals like Airbnb properties, as well as commercial projects ranging from office buildings and retail centers to industrial facilities and medical offices.

The key requirement is that the property must be used for business or investment purposes rather than as a personal residence.

This includes properties you actively manage as rentals, those held for investment appreciation, and buildings used in your trade or business.

Properties acquired through various means including purchases, 1031 exchanges, inheritances, or new construction all qualify, as long as they meet the income-producing requirement and were placed in service after 1986.
