A cost segregation study is an engineering-based tax strategy that reclassifies portions of a real property walls, flooring, fixtures, land improvements into shorter depreciation periods of 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the standard 27.5 or 39 years. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, reducing taxable income significantly in the early years of ownership and creating immediate cash flow you can reinvest into your next Tennessee property.
