Residential rental property is depreciated over a lengthy 27.5 years whereas commercial real estate is depreciated even longer over 39 years.IRS rules allow non-building components such as personal property and land improvements to be segregated from the building and depreciated more rapidly, generally over 5, 7, and 15 years.
A Cost Segregation study can drastically improve cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions, which offset taxable income. The study can typically generate cash savings between 2.5 to 10 percent of the building’s cost.
