- Cost segregation is arguably the most powerful tax saving tool available to commercial real estate investors. It allows you to accelerate the amount of depreciation you can claim on your taxes in the first few years you own the property. If you are looking for more deductions, look no further than cost seg. And here's a simple explanation of how it works:

Mr Harris, you are a inspiration, the education on Commercial Real Estate is invaluable, I am seriously considering buying my first Commercial property and with your education I feel more informative on my upcoming purchase. God Bless You Mr Harris
great video. very well explained. thank you.
Dang, you did a good job explaining this. I watched like 10 videos and nobody even came close. Thank you so much!
All your videos have been tremendously helpful. I'm liking random videos now just to help boost your page. Great job Pete!
POWERFUL!!! Always GREAT content.
Thank you for the thorough explanation. Best video on the subject I’ve come across
Nice work as usual Peter!!! Appreciate your guidance
Great video. Thank you. Really made this information digestible
Yes, you did make it simple, thanks a bunch!
May God bless you sir! Thank-you for you time and information!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Great video Peter. Thank you!
Hello. I appreciate the extensive info, yet simple explanation; on this video. I may have to watch it over and over to grasp it in my brain. I am planning to invest in real estate soon. God bless you! New follower!
Great video and instructor.
This man can teach.🙏
If you have already filed a tax return on a property purchase, (like a purchase in 2021) you can still do a cost study, but the IRS consideres it a change in accountiing, so a 3115 form needs to be filled out.
Phenomenal video!
Fantastic content!!
thank you . very help full content peter.....
Beautiful video🎉🎉
This is gold!! I like your presentation and your teaching style, I believe perhaps you were a teacher before being a real state investor? I like this video and will watch again and again until I understand it. Too bad the bonus depreciation is being face down this year... but nevertheless is still a great tax strategy!!
Awesome freaking video!!!!! Thank you
Our pleasure!
Wonderful explanation thank you for sharing, you are a great teacher
You're very welcome!
Great explanation of information! Action time
Great explanation. Just reached out to a cost segregation company to get started to reduce my tax liability
Thank you so much I got it now
Thank you💯
Great video, thank you for sharing your expertise! I have 6 SFRs rentals, 1 quad, and 1 flip house. I'm selling them all this year in 2 groups. Planning to 1031 into commercial apartment buildings then do the cost segs. I'm a RE professional and my wife has a w2 making 60k/yr. Cost Seg to offset flip income and w2 income. I'm also looking to find apartments where I can add value. What are the most common potholes I should look out for with this strategy and the process of executing it? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks again!
Thank you.
Thanks !
I own a multifamily apartment building in NYC, I wish I had this knowledge when I purchased it many years ago.
Thanks great video .. question does this include if own a commercial property with a triple net lease on it. ? Thanks again!
Excellent video, Peter. You are really a blessing to the world. But what do you think about the 1031 exchange? It was rare that you didn't mention it.
It's a WONDERFUL tool and I strongly recommend it. Here is my video on that topic: czcams.com/video/-zBXsOAuW8g/video.html
You’re a blessing in disguise. You’re like the Mr. Miyagi of Tax Strategy 😂
Thank you Mr. Harris!
What business License do I need for the property to write off Cost Segregation?
Hi, You can pass on cost segregation benefits onto your W2 ONLY if you are real estate professional. Otherwise, it can be applied only to what you make from that property. That significantly reduces the tax advantage. Is that right?
Do you have a video to explain deprecation recapture?
mr harris, i love your content. the best on the market. one question. can i also write off the cost of the cost segregation study? thank you kindly.
ABSOLUTELY!
Can you still do bonus depreciation if it’s not your first year of owning the property? How do you do that? And I assume you can do all of this on residential or commercial property, right?
If you use the segregated funds that roll over each year to offset your taxable income, will that bring your AGI down? Will that make it to where, on paper, it shows your AGi is low and therefore wouldn’t be able to qualify to buy properties?
omg your the man
if you've owned a building for 15yrs and considering selling it in 2022-23 is there any benefit to doing a cost seg this year to get the writeoff before selling it?
Great explanation, Thank you. Is it possible to utilize both cost segregation and bonus depreciation for a recently acquired property that was obtained through a 1031 exchange?
The short answer is yes
Could this negatively impact you if your personal property is reported at let's say $20k, but the study says it's worth $150k, or does the county tax assessor not receive this Cost seg study, and just the IRS does?
Does the tax write off last past 5 years or does it have to be consumed by the end of year 5?
I love your videos because I intend to get into commercial real estate but currently I'm in small multifamily and single family. Would this be something worth doing if the properties are no more than $100,000 each? I ask because I know there's some upfront costs for the cost segregation study.
It'll depend on the cost of the study relative to your potential tax savings. If it costs $4,000 for the study and you save $4,000 in taxes, it's obviously not worth it.
can you do this technique with Single Family? how do i set up a consultation with You or Your Company?
Can i use cost segregation to write of taxes if im flipping houses and i save one house as a rental?
Mr. Harris can you recommend a tax person or how do I find one? I live in Orlando Florida
Hey Peter. I was reading something about what can affect the cap rate on a commercial property.
Long story short, this is what i read: Properties that are selling at or below replacement cost tend to command lower cap rates (higher prices) than those selling above replacement costs because there is less risk that a new investor would build a comparable property from scratch and lease it for similar rates.
My question is: if a property is selling at or below replacement cost tend to have a lower cap rates (higher prices). Doesnt that remove the advantage that the property is at or below replacement cost since its now more valuable?
This
Did you ever figure it out
@@luisarevalo8394 no i never figured it out :(
@@Destroyer-vd8rl Speak with a CPA on CZcams there is another accountant named Carlton he also has many great videos and some on cost segregation
That might help. I’m not sure about the wording of your question but I think I understand what you are asking .
I invest in real estate on the side of my primary job. Can I use cost segregation to offset my W2 income?
Love your videos. But I have a few questions. Isn't the depreciation on commercial 39 years, not 27.5 years?
Also, wouldn't you need to be a real estate professional to be able to capitalize on this? I'm in the journey of building my portfolio and wasn't sure if I'd benefit on the high of a depreciation in the first year, considering I need to qualify for more mortgages. I alsi believe you wouldn't get a check for $10k but you carry it forward to the following year. Please correct me if I'm wrong since this is the info I've learned in other educational videos. Thanks
Dwellings are 27.5 years, whether 1 unit of 200 units. It's still considered "residential" per IRS depreciation guidelines.
And if you are NOT considered a "real estate professional" per the IRS, then you can roll the extra depreciation to future years or if you owned the property for up to 3 years and took straight line depreciation the previous 3 years, you could amend your previous returns and take the new cost seg accelerated depreciation.
Yes commercial is 39 years. 95% of his videos only talk about apartments(residential). I play in the industrial side. Always ask your CPA and or attorney before you do anything from someone off CZcams. He gives out a lot of good information but you still need to check with your team to make sure you do it correctly and legally to the irs code.
Are the advanced and bonus depreciation strategies applicable to single unit (eg condo) investment properties?
Yes
Hi Peter. When you do a cost segregation! It Complicates the 1031 exchange process? Correct?
Not necessarily since all of that depreciation recapture is deferred
Do you have to be a real estate professional to be able to use the depreciation to offset your ordinary income? For example lets say someone makes 300K w2 or in their business and they buy a commercial building can they take the loss on their income or is it only on real estate income?
Yes, you have to be a real estate professional to offset your ordinary income, which is damn near impossible if your a W2 earner that does work outside of real estate. To be considered a real estate professional by the IRS, you have to materially participate in your real estate business AND meet the requirements of a RE professional, on top of your W2 job - basically theres not enough hours in a day. Rental Real Estate activities are per se passive, so unless you're a real estate professional any losses are categorized as passive losses and are limited based on modified adjusted gross income. If your MAGI is 100k or less, you maybe be able to take $25k in losses per year, but this is completely phased out when your MAGI is above $150k. Passive losses can only offset passive income. This guy's explanation of reducing your $200k AGI by $300k in bonus depreciation to get a $100k tax refund is complete asinine bullshit.
In your example with having the 10 investors, you mentioned each investor receiving 210,000. But then also mentioned if they only made 80,000 that year that they could use the 210,000 to offset their 80,000 income to having to pay 0 tax and roll over the remaining 120,000 to the following year. In the example you give prior you mentioned you would get those funds back and could use them to buy another property. So im just confused on that part. Can you get the funds paid to you by the IRS or does it just roll over to the next year?
I came here with the same question. He says yiu get the $120 ok straight up. But I would think the losses would just roll over
Hi Peter, thank you for doing this video. It is a very important topic. Is bonus depreciation and cost segregation going away because of Biden?
The income limits apply after your AGI or before?
Can this apply to individual properties??
What’s the income cut off for cost segregation?
So after 5 years you cant depreciate the building plus get depreciation recapture once you sell it?
How does doing a cost segregation reduce insurance?
Would you still have depreciation recapture if you owned the property for 5+ years ?
Yes, if you sold it. If you did a 1031 exchange, you would defer that recapture.
Do you really get a refund? (your comment at 6:41). I think these go into NOLs right?
How can depreciation recapture effect investors?
my understanding is that you can't use it to offset non real-estate income or active income..... is that correct?
Did you find out ?
Mr. Harris, on Depreciation Recapture (which happens upon the sale of the property), can the seller avoid that by offering seller financing?
Not seller financing; but a Master Lease Agreement would work.
Use a 1031 exchange
Question: as a new buyer of a property, does it matter if the previous owner took the tax benefits in the house? For example, I buy a home that someone already took a tax break when they purchased the home a few years ago?
It doesn't matter.
Can cost segregation lower the taxes paid on w-2 income sir
I have that same question. Can I use the cost segregation/ bonus depreciation to lower my W2 Income?
Ask your CPA. It depends
What do you mean by the skill set to "take this money and multiply it"? Are you saying to take the huge accelerated/bonus deduction, which should give you more money in pocket (via lower tax bill) to then use that money go and buy another commercial property and do cost segregation again and keep repeating that process?
Bingo
@@CommercialPropertyAdvisors does this only work with what is considered a commercial property or can i do it with my 2-unit multi family property?
Do you work with Canadian Investors
Just to confirm, can a hotel owner file as a real estate professional?
Hi Peter, how is the person/investor making $80k effected by the "cons" in your example?
The con would be that if they sell, there is more depreciation recapture.
One thing he did not cover, and check with your Cost Seg pro - is that you can do this retroactively! Ask me how I know lol
Then the next four years you are paying jacked up taxes. Congrats!
1031 to avoid debt recapture?
Can cost segregation my single short term rental, I’m disabled vet and I don’t pay taxes but now I’m doing short term rental and worried that they might to say I owe taxes.
In this example… can the bonus depreciation count toward my ordinary income?
Watch this Video: czcams.com/video/tsiVsq78qO0/video.html
Can you depreciate the actual land? I thought that’s a no.
Isn't the depreciation for commercial properties spread out in 39 years?
Dwellings are 27.5 years, whether 1 unit of 200 units. It's still considered "residential" per IRS depreciation guidelines.
What if I only own 1 commercial building?
I also rent this to myself?

Good question for an accountant.
I bought a $530,000 commercial building and squeezed this in the last week of December! I’m sooooo excited to learn how much I’m
Going to save in taxes!
How did it work it for ya Brad?
It worked out really well for me. I think we saved around, and I am trying to remember, around $70,000 in taxes. I had a large sale and it was better to do this than pay get the cost savings over time.@@OpenandShutCase
Anyone don't this and can recommend a company in NJ?
Ha Ha, Ya, I’m sure Donald utilizes Cost segregation on top of lying about value of properties
