How to Legally Avoid Paying Taxes on Your Property (Cost Segregation Explained)
What's going on, YouTube? I'm Matt Faircloth from the DeRosa Group, and today I’m here with my friend Amanda Han from Keystone CPA to dive into tax strategies and how you can save money with cost segregation studies. In this episode, we break down the basics of cost segregation (or "cost seg" as the cool kids say), and how real estate investors like you can accelerate depreciation on rental properties, saving on taxes and maximizing returns.
Amanda walks us through how cost segregation works, what components of a building can be depreciated faster, and the impact of bonus depreciation on multifamily properties. We also discuss a recent 20-unit property in Burlington, NC, where we're applying these tax-saving strategies.
Plus, join us for a virtual tour of the apartment building and see firsthand what parts of the property qualify for accelerated depreciation!
