In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Thomas Castelli and Nathan Sosa sit down with cost segregation expert Edward Griffith to break down what investors really need to know about cost segs—why engineering-driven, in-person studies deliver superior results, and how relying on cheap or software-only reports can quietly cost investors tens of thousands and increase audit risk.
You’ll learn:
- What a cost segregation study actually is, why it matters, and which properties generate the biggest ROI
- Why in-person, engineering-driven cost segregation consistently produces higher ROI and stronger IRS defensibility than software-only reports
- How the timing of a study (including pre- and post-renovation) affects your tax strategy and bonus depreciation opportunities
- What the full cost seg process looks like from start to finish, and how to ensure deductions actually show up on your tax return
