Here is what most people never stop to think about.

When you buy a self storage property, the IRS treats the whole building as one thing. One asset. 39 years. The shell belongs on a long schedule, fine. But a building is not just a shell. It is a working asset, and a self storage property in Bullhead City carries far more in its components than most owners ever realize.

The Cost Seg America team looked at this one the way the cheap software studies never do. Component by component. The whole building, the structure, the site work, and the systems most studies never touch.

The result: $1,524,074 came off the slow schedule, 42% of the building, moved into faster federal depreciation.

This is one of more than 16,000 studies the Cost Seg America team has completed. It is a sample of the work, not the whole of it.

On a typical $1 million property, a fully engineered study uncovers $60,000 to $150,000 more than a cheap, software-driven one. Real federal deductions the owner was entitled to.

Engineered, not estimated. That is the whole thing.

An engineered cost segregation study on a Bullhead City, AZ self storage property reclassified $1,524,074 (42%) of a $3,588,233 basis into faster federal depreciation. One of 16,000+ studies completed by the Cost Seg America team.
