Question

Is a cost segregation study worth the cost for a converted home?

Answer

A study for a residential property generally runs between $3,000 and $15,000. It tends to pencil out when your depreciable basis clears roughly $500,000, you’re in a high tax bracket, and you can actually use the deductions this year. Keep expectations realistic for a converted home, because the existing components usually don’t qualify for 100% bonus depreciation, while the furnishings you buy after the conversion often do.
