Co-Founder
Paul Spies brings a rare combination of military discipline, construction expertise, and real estate investment success to Seneca Cost Segregation. A Marine Corps Sergeant, Paul has over 8 years of hands-on experience in real estate construction, successfully flipping over 150 homes in 4 years and leading ground-up multi-family development projects as a Principal Broker and Licensed Contractor. Having personally used cost segregation since 2018 to gain a competitive tax advantage on his own properties, Paul co-founded Seneca to make the same powerful strategy accessible to resort owners and investors at an affordable price with fast, reliable delivery. His deep construction knowledge is invaluable in identifying every qualifying asset within complex hospitality properties.
Cost segregation in hotels — and resorts — is an IRS-compliant tax strategy that reclassifies building components from a standard 39-year depreciation schedule into shorter 5-, 7-, or 15-year schedules. For example, carpeting, specialty lighting, decorative fixtures, landscaping, and outdoor amenities can all qualify. This accelerated depreciation front-loads large tax deductions, significantly reducing federal tax liability in the early years of ownership and freeing up cash for reinvestment.
