What is cost segregation, and how can it help real estate investors maximize tax savings? This episode digs into the powerful tax strategy of cost segregation. Eric Oliver from Cost Segregation Authority joins host Taylor Loht to explain what cost segregation is, how it works, and why every real estate investor should understand and utilize this tool. They discuss the tax advantages of cost segregation for real estate investors. Eric provides an overview of cost segregation, explaining that it allows investors to accelerate depreciation deductions by segregating building costs into shorter asset lives. They discuss bonus depreciation, how it puts cost segregation “on steroids,” and how the percentage is reducing but still favorable for investors. Eric clarifies that cost segregation deductions are passive losses that typically can only offset passive income. Eric emphasizes the importance of working with a qualified tax strategist rather than just a preparer. [00:01-4:30] Opening Segment Cost segregation accelerates depreciation by segregating assets into shorter tax lives Allows writing off deductions faster versus straight-line depreciation Identifies items like flooring and appliances that can depreciate faster [4:31-9:00] The Power of Bonus Depreciation Bonus depreciation allows taking a larger deduction upfront Allows immediate 100% write-off on assets under 20 years life Phases down over the next few years but still beneficial [9:01-15:30] Passive vs. Active Losses Cost segregation deductions are usually passive losses Can only offset passive income without special status Real estate professionals can deduct against active income [15:31-23:00] Not All Studies Created Equal Online calculators don't follow IRS guidelines Conservative estimates leave tax savings on table Engineering-based studies with site visit better [23:01-31:30] Tax Strategist vs. Preparer Tax preparers just file based on the given information Tax strategists proactively minimize your tax liability Meeting at least quarterly ensures maximizing deductions Quotes: "Cost segregation really is just accelerated depreciation on your real estate assets." - Eric Oliver "Bonus depreciation puts cost segregation on steroids and creates a bigger deduction in the first year." - Eric Oliver Connect with Eric: Website: www.investwithtaylor.com Track your wealth for free with Personal Capital, go to www.escapingwallstreet.com Please leave a review and help others escape Wall Street and build wealth on Main Street!
How can real estate investors maximize tax deductions through cost segregation? In this information-packed episode, Erik Oliver from costsegauthority.com shares his deep expertise on cost segregation and how real estate investors can use it to accelerate depreciation deductions. You'll learn the basics of cost segregation, what types of properties it can benefit, how it impacts different holding periods, and key factors that determine the size of the deduction. Discover how cost segregation studies on lower-value properties can still make sense in today's tax environment. Plus, find out which specialized asset classes are uniquely suited for generating big tax deductions. Whether you're just diving into real estate investing or have been doing it for decades, this episode will open your eyes to creative tax strategies you may be missing out on. Erik Oliver holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Accounting from Westminster College. Prior to joining Cost Segregation Authority, Erik was an Operations Manager for a multi-million dollar landscaping and design firm in Long Island, NY. Since heading west and joining Cost Segregation Authority, Erik has been speaking at local, regional, and national events. He brings with him a passion for identifying cost savings and educating commercial real estate owners on the benefits of cost segregation. [00:00 - 05:00] Opening Segment Cost segregation allows you to accelerate depreciation deductions by reclassifying assets into shorter recovery periods. Take deductions at a higher ordinary income tax rate now and recapture some of it later at a lower capital gains rate. Bonus depreciation enhances the tax benefit for qualifying assets. [00:05 - 10:30] Factors That Determine Cost Segregation Benefit A longer holding period means a larger overall benefit due to time value of money. Properties over $500k can benefit from “rate arbitrage” even with a short hold. Inflation lowers the real cost of recapture in the future. [10:30 - 16:00] Special Asset Classes Like Medical Offices Medical offices have lots of qualifying specialized equipment. Items like dental chairs can cost $50k - $100k each and can be used for cost segregation. [16:00 - 21:30] Unique Tax Treatment for Car Washes and Gas Stations Car washes are mostly equipment and land improvements that qualify for bonus depreciation. Gas stations may qualify as 15-year properties if gas sales exceed convenience store sales. These asset classes can generate larger deductions. Quotes: "If you've got a property with a depreciable basis of $200k or greater, it's definitely worth at least having somebody run some initial numbers." - Erik Oliver "I want my deductions now because typically inflation goes up...a dollar today is worth way less than a dollar 20 years ago." - Erik Oliver Connect with Oliver: LinkedIn Website: www.costsegauthority.com Visit sponsorcloud.io/contact today and unlock $2,000 of free services exclusively for REI Rocks community members!

Supercharge Your Cash Flow with Erik Oliver: The Cost Segregation Mastermind Unveils How Commercial Building Owners Pocket Thousands TODAY! Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation. Depending on the type of building, there can be anywhere from 20 to 35% and sometimes more of the depreciable basis that can accelerated, translating into tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in current year tax savings. Consider the value of having and being able to use those tax dollars today vs. spreading them out over 27.5 or 39 years. Cost Segregation can be used at pretty much anytime during the cycle of building ownership, including new construction, current acquisitions, previous acquisitions going back as much as ten or fifteen years, large improvement projects, following a step in basis from a change of ownership or estate transfer, and sometimes even at disposition to offset some of a capital gain. Cost Segregation is an engineering-based analysis of a building's interior, exterior and land improvements in order to identify, measure and quantify assets that are considered personal property or land improvements under the federal tax code. Those assets are then re-classifying in order to accelerate their depreciation.

Key Takeaways with Erik Oliver Why W-2 earners are investing in short-term rentals to offset their income. How cost segregation can save clients tens of thousands of dollars in taxes for both residential and commercial investors. How bonus depreciation works and the different ways you can use it in your business. How Erik conquered his fears and dove headfirst into real estate after getting burned on his first rental property.

ALL real estate investors should be taking advantage of the tax code. As business owners, the government incentivizes us to do certain behaviors and rewards us with tax deductions.

What you'll learn about in this episode: Is cost segregation a form of accelerated depreciation that allows investors to take deductions from their real estate investments faster? Why did passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017/2018, bonus appreciation make cost segregation more favorable to all investors regardless of size or value - even single-family rental properties? Why do building owners need to hire someone knowledgeable about construction and tax law for better results? Why does the cost segregation study for their 2022 taxes begins with an initial benefit analysis and then require a site visit (either in person or virtually)? At what point does it make sense to engage you on new construction projects? Is it while the walls are still open, or do you need to look at a finished product?

Erik Oliver is a cost segregation expert and helps saving tax dollars for Real Estate Investors Nationwide. Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation. Depending on the type of building, there can be anywhere from 20 to 35% and sometimes more of the depreciable basis that can accelerated, translating into tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in current year tax savings. Consider the value of having and being able to use those tax dollars today vs. spreading them out over 27.5 or 39 years. Cost Segregation can be used at pretty much anytime during the cycle of building ownership, including new construction, current acquisitions, previous acquisitions going back as much as ten or fifteen years, large improvement projects, following a step in basis from a change of ownership or estate transfer, and sometimes even at disposition to offset some of a capital gain. Cost Segregation is an engineering-based analysis of a building's interior, exterior and land improvements in order to identify, measure and quantify assets that are considered personal property or land improvements under the federal tax code. Those assets are then re-classifying in order to accelerate their depreciation.Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation.

You can watch this episode on Youtube.com: https://youtu.be/KZWEb2iXAH4 Cost Segregation Analysis Studies are an important part of investors' tax strategy for depreciation. If it's a commercial building, you can take 39 years of depreciation. If it's a residential structure, you're able to depreciate for 27 and a half years. But does your carpet last for 27 and a half years? No, it depreciates faster. You can depreciate different elements of the structure at different rates (5 years, 7 years, 15 years), but you have to have a study to make sure you're doing it right. Join us with our guest, Erik Oliver from Cost Segregation Authority, as we dive deep into the different aspects of Cost Segregation Analysis! 0:00 - Introduction 1:47 - Define Cost Segregation Analysis. Taking depreciation in different chunks at an accelerated pace. Why is it important? Cost value of money, inflation, and tax strategy. 4:23 - What happens when you sell? You pay two types of taxes: 1) capital gains and 2) depreciation recapture. Take your deduction at a higher rate, then pay your taxes at a reduced rate on a future date. How do they come up with the numbers? 12:05 - It doesn't work on EVERY property. 16:05 - Bonus Depreciation. Bonus depreciation means you can get 100% of your depreciation right in the first year...until the end of 2022. 18:50 - Put it "In Service". You can take depreciation if the property is "in service" according to the IRS. 23:15 - An Airbnb Example. Use the tax savings as the down payment. Cost segregation does NOT generate audits. 29:28 - What'd we learn today? 34:43 - Outtakes * No IRS agents were harmed in the making of this video.

“The whole idea behind Cost Segregation is to take your deduction today at the highest rate at my ordinary income rate.” Business owners, particularly real estate owners, pay a staggering amount of taxes. In this episode, cost segregation specialist Erik Oliver will explain how the method can improve cash flow, enable realtors to take advantage of accelerated depreciation discounts, and more. You'll be able to save millions of dollars in taxes.
Erik Oliver has a degree in accounting and has been working with CPAs across the country for the past seven years to help accelerate real estate investment deductions, helping to save investors money on taxes. Cost segregation is accelerated depreciation, helping real estate investors take depreciation deductions against their incomes, by segregating various costs in real estate investment – such as carpets or tile – and front loading these deductions in the early years of an investment, rather than spreading it out across a 15 or 30 year period. The government incentivizes this to help stimulate the economy and the Tax and Jobs Act of 2018 increased depreciation deductions to 100% through December 2022. Join Erik Oliver and Host Dan Lesniak as they discuss… ∙ What cost segregation is and how to take advantage of the deductions against your income ∙ How the Tax and Jobs Cut Act of 2018 increased depreciation deductions to 100% through December 2022 and why you should act now before the year is over. ∙ Why you should pay for a tax strategist – and not just a tax preparer – to strategize on reducing your tax bill ∙ What cost segregation is and how to take advantage of the deductions against your income QUOTES TO SHARE

Today, my guest is Erik Oliver. Erik is the regional manager for cost segregation authority. In just a minute, we're going to speak with Eric about cost segregation, what it is, how it works, and the benefits for real estate investors.
J Darrin Gross If you're willing, I'd like to ask you, Erik Oliver, what is the biggest risk? Erik Oliver Yeah, you know, for me, as you know, I didn't have any investment properties when I started doing cost segregation. And so by working with clients all the time, and seeing the value of owning real estate, I've started to get into real estate myself. And I think the biggest risk for me is, I went back and forth, do I need a property management group? Do I not? Do I manage these myself, you know, I actually live by my investment properties, I can don't step over what is the saying don't step over $1 to save a penny, you know what I mean? Let the experts do it. There's a reason that they're property management experts, there's a reason that your CPA should be filing your taxes, and you shouldn't be doing it yourself unless you know what you're doing. And so I think, the biggest risk for me that I've had to learn just that let the experts do it. And I see it all the time in my industry, where people do their own taxes. You know, I've seen people who make, you know, in the millions of dollars and have very sophisticated tax returns, and they're doing their own taxes on TurboTax. Because they don't want to pay a wealth advisor or a CPA who has the experience. And I'm like, what you're gonna pay that qualified CPA who understands real estate to do your taxes, you're gonna get back tenfold in the amount of deductions. And you know, the left the reduction in your tax liability. And so I think, if I can just share one thing, and that is surround yourself, you can't be an expert in everything, right? And so know where your faults are, and be humble enough to say, I'm not a tax expert, or I'm not a property management expert. I'll tell you just a quick story. I learned that the hard way. My very first investment property was actually when I lived in Virginia, I moved out of Virginia, I moved to New York. And I said, I don't want to sell my house. I'm going to just rent it in Virginia. And I'm going to do it myself. So I put an ad out there I met with some potential tenants, I found some they seem like the nicest people in the world. I didn't know I should do a background check. I didn't know that I should run their credit. There's my first gig, right? So Micah, they're nice. They sat down, they talked to my kids, we had a great conversation. They rent I rent the house to him, I moved to New York. And I never hear from him again, right? They paid their rent, the first two months. Great on time was perfect. But then the people that kicked them out of their old place started garnishing their paychecks. And that's when they stopped paying my rent. And had I done a background check. This all would have showed up but I didn't want to pay the 10% management fee. I'm like, I want that for me. And so surround yourself with I didn't know what I was doing. I thought I did but I didn't. And I should have been humble enough to say, Erik, you don't know what you're doing. And so humble yourself and say, what are you good at? And you'd be the expert in that. But we can't be experts in anything and in everything. And so surround yourself with people who are good property managers, good lenders, good CPAs good attorneys, good insurance agents, right? And let them be the experts and take their advice and be okay paying for that expertise, because you're going to come out ahead in the long run.

Check it out below: Erik Oliver 00:00 When you buy an asset, let's say you buy an apartment building, you're not just buying the land in the walls, you're also buying a bunch of appliances. You're buying a bunch of ceiling fans, you're buying a bunch of garbage disposals and a bunch of flooring and all these different assets, and according to the IRS, those assets can be depreciated at a much faster rate than 27 and a half years and that example. So carpet, for example, should be depreciated over five years, your appliances should be depreciated over five years. But when you pay 2.8 million for it, you don't know how much of that 2.8 million is for refrigerators or garbage disposals. And so that's what a cost segregation company does is we come in and we segregate those costs into different buckets. Intro 00:37 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we will teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Sam Wilson 00:49 Eric Oliver is the managing director at cost segregation authority and his work with clients across the country saving significant tax dollars. Eric brings with him a passion for identifying cost savings and educating real estate investors. Eric, welcome to the show. Erik Oliver 01:03 Hey, thanks for having me, Sam. Glad to be here. Sam Wilson 01:05 Pleasure's all mine. same three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show. Can you tell me in 90 seconds or less, where did you start, where are you now, and how did you get there? Erik Oliver 01:13 Yeah, sure. So I started my background is in accounting. So my major in accounting never really wanted to be a CPA, I was just numbers always came easy to me. And I'm horrible at English. And so I said, Hey, I'm going to go into a math degree. So I have an accounting degree. And my background is in sales. I've been in sales for the last 20 years. And so I was looking for a job, I lived in New York for a long period and wanted to move back out west and was looking for a job and came across this company. They've been in business for about 16 years now. And I thought it would be a good fit with my accounting degree and my business development background. And so I joined their team been here about six years now. And loving it, love helping investors. It's the, I gotta be honest with you, it's the easiest sales job I've ever had. It's a math equation either makes sense or it doesn't, right. So I love that aspect of it and glad to be here with this company. Sam Wilson 02:04 That's fantastic. I love that. Yeah, your sales job, I would only imagine is pretty easy in the sense. It's like, “Hey, by the way, I can help you save a loads of money.” Yeah, a little bit upfront. Like… Erik Oliver 02:15 Right? That's exactly what it is. It's, you know, you can give me 4,000, and I'll save you 40. Or you can pay the IRS 40. In April you decide and so, right, it's really more of a consultant position, which I love is just kind of walking people through how this works and exit strategies and you know, different investment strategies that we see with the investors we work with. And so that's the part that I really love. It's not like I'm trying to convince somebody they need to do it. It's more of a consulting and I love that aspect of the job. Sam Wilson 02:41 Great. We've certainly had several different firms come on the show and talk about cost segregation, we've dived, I mean, like you said, English isn't isn't our strong suit, whatever we did, we got into those, you know, kind of some of the nuances of cost seg. And you know, that was a good time. But just in case, our listeners haven't listened to that episode, can you give us just a I mean, bite size, what is cost segregation? Erik Oliver 03:03 Sure, Cost Segregation is just accelerated depreciation. So when you buy an investment property, you get to depreciate that over either 27 and a half or 39 years, depending on the asset. And so you're taking 1/27 or 1/39 of that the building price in terms of depreciation over those ports of years, and all we're doing is saying, well, instead of taking 1/39 of your storage units, what if you could take 30% of the deductions in the first year, and spread out the rest of the 70% over the course of the next 38 years. And so there's a number of reasons why you would want to front-load your deduction, you know, you've got time value of money, big one right now is inflation. You know, $1 today is worth more than $1, yesterday, or even an hour ago. So there's a number of reasons why you want to frontload those deductions, give me my deductions today, I'm not going to hold my storage unit for 39 years. So give me my deductions today. Let me put that money to work on my next storage unit or what-not. And so that's really what we're doing is front-loading depreciation deductions. Sam Wilson 04:00 Gotcha. Yeah, that's really your point there that $1 today is worth more than $1 for tomorrow, not tomorrow's dollars worth less than today's dollar. That's one thing. And the other thing you pointed out there is that, you know, if you have a 39, say, 39-year or 30 and a half 39-year deductions, yeah, yeah, you have that. I mean, by the time 39 years from now, I don't really plan on I mean, minus passive income and assuming I'm still alive, like, it just it doesn't make any sense to pay taxes like I'm in the highest-earning tax bracket right now. Right? The more deductions I can as a person, either a passive investor get on my k-one or even an active investor, right? More deductions, I can bank today, the better off really I am in the long term. That's really fascinating, you know, but with that one of the topics that we haven't spent a lot of time digging into is one, most of us don't hold these properties for 39 and a half or 39 years or 27 and a half years even, it's just not the way it is. And there's a few people that say Oh, I'll hold is in perpetuity. Okay, good for you, but the normal business plan is five to seven-year hold on a lot of these larger commercial assets, because we all bring in investors, and then we got to make them their pile of money and give them their money back. So what happens then, like Orleans, we haven't dug into his depreciation recapture? I mean, it just seems like, are you just trading dollars at that point? And when you pay the tax? What's that look like? Erik Oliver 05:18 Yeah, that's a great question we get that, get asked that quite often. And I'll kind of just back up a little bit just to shed a little bit of light for those listeners who aren't familiar with how we accelerate those deductions. What we're doing essentially, is we're just, when you buy an asset, let's say you buy an apartment building, you're not just buying the land in the walls, you're also buying a bunch of appliances, you're buying a bunch of ceiling fans, you're buying a bunch of garbage disposals and a bunch of flooring and all these different assets. And according to the IRS, those assets can be depreciated at a much faster rate than 27 and a half years in that example. So carpet, for example, should be depreciated over five years, your appliances should be depreciated over five years. But when you pay 2.8 million for it, you don't know how much of that 2.8 million is for refrigerators or garbage disposals. And so that's what a cost segregation company does is we come in and we segregate those costs into different buckets. And the reason that's important is think about it when you buy an asset. Let's go back to your question on recapture, I'll kind of back into this. But if you buy a building, let's say you buy an apartment building for $5 million, and you hold it for five years, and you sell it five years later, for 10, the markets great, you've doubled the value of the property's doubled. You sell it for 10. When you go to pay taxes on that, if you don't do a cost seg study, you're telling the IRS that everything doubled in value, my land is worth double, my walls are worth double. And guess what, so is my dirty old carpet that I've had for five years, it's now worth double what I bought it for five years ago, right? That's just not the case, carpet doesn't go up in value, carpet goes down in bed. But when you have everything lumped together as one big asset, that's all you can do is say, “Well, this asset I bought for five, this big asset I sold for 10. So everything doubles in value.” When you do cost segregation, you've got everything broken up into different buckets now. And because we have it broken up into different buckets, I can say what are my five-year assets worth after owning that building for five years, they're worth zero, they're fully depreciated, right? And so you're not selling your carpet for more than what you paid for it, you're selling it for zero, it has zero book value in that example, because I've owned it for five years. And so when you do cost segregation, it allows you to manage those recapture taxes. And essentially, what you're doing is you're taking your deduction at a high rate, taking it against that high 37% federal tax, federal income tax, you're taking your deduction of 37%, you're paying back a portion of it, and that portion is dependent upon how long you own it, you're paying back a portion of it at a lower rate at a future date and saving the spread. And so when you're paying that back, if you're paying it back at a capital gains rate of 20%, and taking the deduction at 37. Even if you're paying it all back, you're still saving that 17% spread. And like I said, in actuality, you're not paying it all back. Because in that example, your five-year assets are fully depreciated. So you're paying no recapture on your five-year assets. And so you're only paying parts of that recapture at a lower rate. And so that's one of the side benefits. I don't know if it's a side benefit. But it's one of the secondary benefits of having a cost segregation study done is give me my deductions now. But then when I sell the asset, I'm able to manage the allocation of my sales price. Again, that's important, manage the allocation of your sales price, and put that into the right buckets, which allows you to reduce your total tax bill upon sale. And so hopefully, that wasn't too far in the weeds. But I think, you know, the main point there is you're not selling your carpet for more than you bought it for. Right, take your deduction at a higher rate, pay back a portion of it at a lower rate at a future date and save the spread. And that's really what we're trying to accomplish. Sam Wilson 08:50 Right. Yeah. And I think that's an interesting clarification that a lot of people don't have when, when they're being sold these investments when you're talking to passive investors, right? Like, hey, you know, 100% bonus depreciation 100%, this, like, blah, blah, blah, cost seg, they don't tell you that, hey, on the back end, you're gonna capture some of this again, it just might be at a much lower rate. So I mean, and again, you know, for a lot of passive investors, they care but they don't care in the sense of like, I'm coming to you to put a deal together to make me money. And you're getting really in the weeds there, Sam. So yeah, just send me my k-1and tell me what it is. Let's go. Erik Oliver 09:29 Right. And that's something to that we talked to investors about or just something to keep in mind in terms of cost segregation, and when you're putting these deals together is depending on the structure of the deal, your depreciation doesn't have to be divvied up equally amongst your investors. I mean, you can put in your operating agreement that you know, you might have some investors who are high W2 earners, and they're not real estate professionals and they're just looking for a place to park their money and they don't necessarily need the tax deductions or can't utilize them versus some investors that are bringing money to the table. All they're looking for is a tax write-off. And so being able to kind of mix and match with your investors, what you're giving them in terms of tax write-offs by utilizing some of these cost segregation strategies is key to finding new investors and being able to provide for them, you know, what they're looking for whether it's, are they looking for equity long term? Are they looking for a tax write-off in the short term? And so that's one of the added benefits. Sam Wilson 10:21 Right, now, that's a great point. Yeah. Because I think about, you know, separate self-directed IRAs, you know, Roth, IRAs, things like that, that I have. And I mean, the deals were in that I use myself, I don't need to, you can give me all the write-offs you want. I don't care. They don't care. Yeah, doesn't do me any good. I wonder if, you pose an interesting thought there, which is not part of our onboarding process right now. But I wonder if that's probably a good question to put in your investor questionnaire as they come on board. Do you need the appreciation benefits or the cost seg benefits as we like, is this something you can even use? Right? If not, we're going to have our accountants funnel this to other, you know, split it up evenly amongst the investors that do need it. Erik Oliver 11:00 That, do need it. And maybe that those who don't need it, maybe they have more equity in the deal or whatever, however, you want to structure it. But yeah, give them what they're looking for. And it does help when you're raising money to be able to tailor your offering to what they're looking for and what their needs are. Sam Wilson 11:14 What's a good way to explain cost segregation or depreciation to an investor? Because I mean, I've got a lot of people that this is such a, especially non-business owners, right? To me, it took me a while to wrap my head around like, Wait, so I'm gonna put money and I'm gonna make money, and then I'm gonna lose money. Erik Oliver 11:31 Right? Sam Wilson 11:32 How does this third-grade math tell me this doesn't work? Right? But yet it does. So what's a good way when talking to investors? Do you think that people should be saying, Hey, this is maybe someone's never heard of depreciation, or bonus depreciation, or short offset like, Erik Oliver 11:47 You know, depreciation, it does take a little bit to get your head around. But it really is a non-cash expense. So when you think about business, we have income. And then we have our expenses, right? So whether you're manufacturing widgets, you got to buy the parts for the widgets, and those are your expenses. And then you sell those parts, that's your income. And your income minus your expenses is obviously your profit. And depreciation is just a non-cash expense. It's no different than, you know, people at the end of the year, they go out and buy a truck to try and get a write-off. Depreciation is the same effect, the same thing. It's just non-cash. And the other way to look at it is everything deteriorates over time. And so basically, if you think about, you know, sometimes people say, Well, why are commercial properties 39-year assets, and residential 27 and a half. And the thought process there is, is that when you've got somebody living in a building 24/7 or potentially there 24/7, where you've got a commercial building that's open nine to five, that commercial building is going to last longer. All the stuff in it is going to last longer than something that's being used 24/7. And so we've got these different depreciation lives. And there's court cases where all these depreciate, Oh, someone said, at one point, there was a court case that said, “you know, my carpet doesn't last 39 years, and so I shouldn't be depreciating it over 39 years.” And so then the court said, “Yeah, you're right, carpets, you know, only last five years. And so carpet now has a depreciable life of five years.” And so that's really all it is. It's just the depreciation, and how long does it take that asset on average, to basically become worthless. And so if you had a commercial building, let's say you had a storage unit, in theory, if you own that storage unit, you built it and owned it for 39 years and never maintained it. After that 39 years, it would be worth zero, right? And that's kind of the thought process behind it. So because of that, you get to take these write-offs, because every year it's worth a little bit less than a little bit less in terms of the structural value, not necessarily the market value. You know, obviously, things go up depending on the market, but the structural value goes down. That siding is now five years old. And so it's not worth as much as it was when you put it on their original. And so I don't know if that was an easy way to describe the depreciation. Sam Wilson 13:55 No, I think that's really good talks about bonus depreciation. There's a lot of concerns coming down, you know, you see the chatter on the internet machine. And it's all, you know, hey, you're bonus depreciation go going away, blah, blah. Can you tell us quickly what is just for our listeners? What is bonus depreciation and talk to us about the sunsetting of it and kind of what's happening on that front? Erik Oliver 14:16 Sure. No, that's a great question. So bonus depreciation has been around for a while, and it's kind of a way the government has used depreciation to stimulate the economy. And so they have, you know, depending on how they in the past, depending on how the economy was going, they would either increase the bonus or decrease the bonus on what they were trying to accomplish. And what bonus depreciation is, is that I think originally bonus depreciation was set up to not for real estate. So when you think about bonus depreciation, it was on assets that have a depreciable life of 20 years or less, right? So the idea was, hey, if you go buy a new truck, we're going to allow you to take 100% of the depreciation in the first year versus spreading that out over X amount of years. Whatever the depreciable life of a truck Is, or a bulldozer or a piece of machinery, right. However, when you think about cost segregation, when you buy a 27 and a half year asset and you do a cost seg study, now we're coming in, and we're segregating into five, seven, and 15-year buckets. Well, those five, seven and 15-year buckets are all under 20 years. And so now they're eligible for bonus, right? And Trump knew this, Trump being a real estate investor, and we won't go down that rabbit hole, whether you like him or not, that's up to you. But he is a real estate investor. And when he rewrote the tax laws or the tax codes, he was very favorable to real estate investors, and he understands how bonus depreciation works. And so he extended bonus depreciation to the end of next year, so any properties purchased between September 27 of 2017 and December 31 of this year 2022, are eligible for 100% bonus. And what that means is, is that when we do a cost seg study, all the five, seven and 15 year assets that we identify, instead of depreciating your five-year carpet over five years, you know, you get roughly 20%, every year for five years, you get to take 100% of that in the first year, right. And so this is big because when you buy a million, let's say you buy a million-dollar asset, we typically segregate somewhere around 30%. So all of a sudden, you're getting a $300,000 write-off in the first year with bonus depreciation. Sam Wilson 16:21 That's nice. And even if you don't use the entirety of that write-off that year, that right off carries forward until you've used all of it. Erik Oliver 16:26 Correct. Yeah, you don't ever lose it. Sam Wilson 16:29 So what happens to the sunset? When is this going away? Because I know there's a phased out, they're phasing this out on this, what is that? Erik Oliver 16:35 Yeah, and so, exactly. So they were talks about, you know, with the new administration coming in, were they going to keep this 100% bonus in place, or were they going to get rid of it, there was talks about them getting rid of it. So far, in the stuff that's been proposed, bonus depreciation has not even been mentioned, which is great. And so the current phase-out period is, it's 100% for anything through the end of this year. Now, that's any asset you buy through the end of this year. So let's say you don't do a cost seg study on the on an asset you bought this year, you don't do the cost seg study for two years, you're still eligible for that 100% bonus, a law applies to the time you purchased or put the building into service. So anything you buy between now and the end of the year is eligible for 100% bonus, and then starting anything purchased in 2023, it starts to phase out 20%. So now you get 80% bonus. So now if you've got $100,000 worth of carpet, for example, you get to take 80,000 of that in the first year, the 20,000 then gets played out over the next four years, right. And so same thing with your seven and your 15-year asset. So it starts at 100, next year goes to 80. The following year, it goes to 60 and 2027, it's down to zero and that's assuming nothing changes but you know, we still have a couple of good years of quality bonus depreciation available to us. So definitely keep that in mind as you're investing and looking at different properties. Sam Wilson 17:53 Man, this is fantastic, Eric, thank you for taking so much time today to really break down even further and nuance into cost segregation this is I don't think we've quite gone this deep on some of these more nuanced parts of this especially the sunset provisions there on bonus depreciation that's something that I think our listeners will find very very helpful because there is again like you said a lot of chatter around it. So yeah, that's been absolutely fantastic. Last question for you, if our listeners want to get in touch with you do business with you learn more about you can you tell us the best way to do that? Erik Oliver 18:24 Sure. Absolutely. So our website is just costsegauthority.com. That's C-O-S-T-S-E-G, authority dot com. From the website, my contact information is on there, please use me as a resource. If you have any depreciation questions, feel free to call me, if you've got child tax credit or earned business income questions, please don't call me because I can't answer those. But anything depreciation-related. We're kind of a niche accounting firm, we just do cost segregation. So trying to think the weirdest question I think I've been asked is how to depreciate mule deer for a breeding farm in Wisconsin, they were, breed these deer and believe it or not, deer have a depreciable life of X amount of years. And so we got that question. I didn't know the answer that right off the top, but I was able to find the answer. So if you have any depreciation-related questions, 100%, please feel free to call me my email is on there, my phone numbers on there. From our website. If you do have properties, we do a free benefit analysis on your property. And we'll give you an idea of what the fee would be to do the study as well as what your expected tax savings would be. So feel free to reach out to us that way. It's been great, Sam, I appreciate your time. Glad to be here. Sam Wilson 19:29 Eric, thank you so much. Have a great rest of your day. All right, you too.
