Cost Segregation: Accelerate Depreciation & Unlock Tax Savings for Rental Property Investors

Do a cost seg go to theWealthElevator.com/costseg Lane hosts a monthly investor “lunch and learn” webinar replay on cost segregation with guest AJ Lyons of DIY Cost Seg, explaining how cost seg reclassifies non-structural property components into shorter 5- and 15-year lives to accelerate depreciation versus standard 27.5-year (residential) or 39-year (commercial) schedules, often pulling a significant portion of deductions into year one, especially when 100% bonus depreciation applies. They discuss who benefits (rental owners, short-term rentals, commercial, value-add renovations), timing (including doing studies after purchase via amended returns or Form 3115), CPA coordination, potential use cases like short-term rental material participation or real estate professional status, depreciation recapture considerations, pricing and fast report delivery, and audit defensibility and optional audit support. Lane also announces an accredited investor retreat Jan 15–17, 2027 and directs viewers to thewealthelevator.com/costseg and related resources. 00:00 Depreciation Big Picture 00:56 Retreat And Webinar Intro 02:15 Lunch And Learn Setup 03:37 Cost Seg Basics Explained 06:27 Bonus Depreciation And CPA Fit 09:39 Not A Loophole History 17:35 Who Benefits And Pricing 21:11 Fast DIY Process Walkthrough 23:26 Audit Risk And Support 28:01 Timing And Catch Up Rules 30:24 Q And A Recapture Value 38:39 Wrap Up And Next Steps Hosted on Acast.
