What is cost segregation?

You want your money now — not over decades.

Under current tax law, your building is set to depreciate over 27.5 or 39 years. But many of its components — lighting, flooring, cabinetry, landscaping, specialized electrical — actually wear out far faster than that.

A cost segregation study identifies those faster-depreciating assets and reclassifies them into their IRS-approved 5-, 7-, and 15-year categories. So instead of waiting decades for the deduction, you claim much of it now.

Because of the time value of money, a dollar of deduction today is worth far more than that same dollar spread out over 39 years. That's the whole point — keep more of your money, today.

Without cost segregation

Deductions spread thin across 27.5–39 years

With cost segregation

Deductions accelerated into your early ownership years

~$275K of additional first-year depreciation is common per $1M of reclassified assets*

Client stories

Trusted by real estate investors & property owners

"Edge's study reclassified nearly 30% of my building's value into faster depreciation. The first-year deduction was bigger than I expected — and it freed up cash for my next acquisition."

Marcus Benoit

Multifamily Owner

"Cost segregation was a black box to me. Edge handled the whole study, worked directly with my CPA, and saved me far more than their fee in the very first year."

Priya Raman

Real Estate Investor

"I did a look-back study on a property I'd owned for years and caught all the depreciation I'd left on the table — without amending a single return. Wish I'd called Edge sooner."

For accountants & clients

We don't replace your accountant — we work with them

Worried about stepping on your CPA's toes? Don't be. Cost segregation is a niche specialty most accountants don't perform in-house — it takes engineering expertise and on-site property analysis.

That's why many CPAs simply don't offer it, and many who do quietly outsource it to a firm like ours. We partner with your accountant, so you get a lower tax bill and your CPA looks great doing it.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about cost segregation and working with Edge — from eligibility and timing to how it fits with your CPA.

The Basics

What exactly is a cost segregation study?

It's an engineering-based analysis that identifies the components of your property — like lighting, flooring, cabinetry, and landscaping — that can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the standard 27.5 or 39. Accelerating that depreciation front-loads your deductions and lowers your tax bill today.

How much could I actually save?

It depends on the property's cost basis, type, and your tax situation, but it's common to reclassify 20–40% of a building's value into shorter lives. As a rough rule of thumb, that can translate to roughly $275K of additional first-year depreciation per $1M of reclassified assets. Our free estimate gives you a number specific to your property.

Is cost segregation IRS-approved?

Yes. Cost segregation is a well-established, IRS-recognized tax strategy. The engineering-based approach we use is the methodology the IRS prefers, and every study we deliver is fully documented and audit-ready.

Eligibility & Timing

Is my property a good candidate?

Generally, properties worth $1M+ (or with $750K+ in recent renovations) that you plan to hold for at least three years are strong candidates. That said, the only way to know for sure is a quick feasibility review — which we provide at no cost.

I bought my property years ago — did I miss the window?

Not at all. A look-back study lets you capture the depreciation you should have claimed in prior years — all at once, in the current year — without amending past returns. We handle the Form 3115 change in accounting method for you.

What property types do you work with?

Virtually all income-producing real estate: multifamily and apartments, commercial, retail, office, industrial, and short-term and single-family rentals — from a single property to a national portfolio.

Working Together

Will this replace my accountant?

No — we work alongside your CPA. Cost segregation is a niche specialty most accountants don't perform in-house. We do the study and hand your accountant a finished, audit-ready report they simply plug into your depreciation schedule.

What does the process look like?

Four simple steps: a no-cost feasibility analysis, an engineering review of your property, a detailed report, and hand-off to your CPA to file with your return. We manage it end to end — there's almost nothing for you to do.

How long does a study take?

Most studies are completed within a few weeks of the property review, depending on size and complexity. We'll give you a clear timeline up front so it lines up comfortably with your filing deadlines.

Do I need to be in Boca Raton?

No. We're based in Boca Raton, Florida, but we work with property owners wherever their real estate is located.
