Your property has the potential to benefit from a cost segregation study, but there are many variables to consider.

Would you have net income or net loss without the cost seg study? Are your real estate investments active or passive? Are your losses locked up against your passive income?

Have you obtained any detailed cost/benefit analysis quote? Most cost segregation study companies provide the quote for free. Is it a reputable company and will the documentation provided from the study hold up in an audit? If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Great points here! Another factor to consider could be how asset class selection impacts the utility of these levers. For example, industrial properties often have lower land allocations and higher equipment allocations, whereas some retail centers might have heavy land basis depending on location.

At the end of the day, it comes down to weighing how much tax you'd owe versus the cost and stress of getting that $154k in financing.

It might also be worth having a CPA or qualified 1031 exchange advisor run the numbers on both paths to make a more informed decision.
