When a commercial property is purchased, owners often focus on the acquisition price, financing, tenants, and projected operating performance. Depreciation is another part of the investment that deserves attention. A building contains many different assets, and examining those assets individually can provide additional information about how depreciation may be handled. This is the purpose behind cost segregation for real estate.
A cost segregation analysis examines the components of a property and separates qualifying assets into appropriate depreciation categories. Instead of treating every component as part of one broad building classification, the analysis looks at the actual property and identifies items that may have different recovery periods.
