PROPERTY OWNERS, LOOKING TO INCREASE CASH FLOW? TRY COST SEGREGATION

While cost segregation offers many benefits, this is not a DIY operation. We consulted Joel Grushkin, Regional Director of Solana Beach-based Cost Segregation Initiatives (CSI), to see how commercial property owners can benefit from using cost segregation instead of straight-line depreciation. Grushkin says cost segregation “is a much more realistic approach to depreciating their real property, [as it] allows for the acceleration of depreciation, mitigating taxes in the early years of ownership when cash flow is most critical.”

Ken New and Joel Grushkin dive into the intricacies of cost segregation—a powerful tax planning tool for commercial real estate depreciation. Joel, with 40 years of executive experience and Regional Director of Cost Segregation Initiatives, shares his wealth of knowledge on optimizing tax savings for property developers, owners, and investors. Whether you're acquiring new property or have been utilizing straight-line depreciation, this episode is rich in strategic insights catering to business and property owners, aiming for effective tax mitigation. Ken and Joel discuss: The basics of cost segregation and its impact on commercial real estate depreciation The benefits of accelerated depreciation for business owners, including immediate cash flow improvement The partnership between Joel’s firm and CPAs and how cost segregation studies can significantly reduce tax liabilities Tips on navigating potential IRS audits and the long-term advantages of cost segregation, even upon selling the property.
