Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cost segregation study in NC?

A cost segregation study in North Carolina is an engineering-based tax strategy that reclassifies components of your income-producing property into shorter depreciation lives — 5, 7, or 15 years — instead of the standard 27.5 or 39 years. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, reducing your federal taxable income significantly in the early years of ownership and freeing up cash for reinvestment in additional NC real estate.
