COST SEGREGATION ADVISOR, LLC offers a straight-forward method that leads to a No Pressure / No Hype / No Risk evaluation process. Making this a painless process, in which ALL commercial property owners should evaluate to determine the potential. Finding out what Tax Savings you can achieve should be a basic part of your tax strategy.
The following is a step-by-step summary of what it take to obtain the Tax Savings from cost segregation:
STEP1: FREE assessment of your property, based basic client information, where we deliver -- IN ADVANCE -- a written report that documents the Expected Benefits, an impressive Return-on-Investment (ROI), along with our fixed fee cost. By providing the information upfront, before even a penny is spent: making this a "Business Decision and not a Sales Pitch" SM [ http://FREE.costsegadvisor.com ]
YES: If the numbers make sense for YOUR situation...move to STEP2
NO: If the numbers DO NOT make sense for YOUR situation...at least you make an INFORMED decision!
STEP2: Review client documentation (such as: invoices, AIA G702/G703 payments scheduled, depreciation schedule, construction budgets, architectural, mechanical, electrical and structural plans, closing statement), reconcile cost, site plans renovations, or other changes
[ http://FEASIBILITY.costsegadvisor.com ]
STEP3: We provide a non-intrusive Site Inspection by a professional engineer of the client facility where we capture photographs, validate measurements, hand drawn diagrams, and record audio of the engineers inspection.
[ http://TOOLS.costsegadvisor.com ]
STEP4: We then go back into our office and "crunch" the number compared to our site inspection, documentation, and expertise utilizing approved cost estimation techniques -- including RS Means and Marshall & Swift -- to determine the value of building components for all classifications: 5-year, 7-year, 15-year, 27.5-year or 39-year.
STEP5: We provide a Preliminary Draft of the report to review with the owner and/or their CPA to ensure that the material prepared is consistent with how the business is managed and
STEP6: Deliver one of the finest and well documented studies in the industry -- a High Quality product at a "compelling" price. That study includes all the supporting material to back the decisions made as a part of the evaluation. Even including an transcribed notes from the audio during the engineers site visit of the property. That along with the hundreds of photos, handwritten notes, and audio. These details are key parts of why we will back our work -- at no cost -- in the unlikely event a client is called upon for an audit and there are questions about our work.

Cost Segregation and the Time Value of Money - BUILDING DEPRECIATION
BUILDING DEPRECIATION MEANS - BIG BUCKS!!
Many commercial real estate owners are familiar with section 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains tax. Cost Segregation can still be a viable way to generate more cash flow today even if a commercial property owner is planning a 1031 exchange in the future. The fact is a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. Also, if the 1245 ("personal property") that gets accelerated through cost segregation is mostly replaced by the new building then there could be little to no depreciation recapture to consider or be concerned with.
Either way, having the money sooner rather than later still applies......WHY WAIT 39 YEARS? (http://www.WhyWait39Years.com/)
It all starts with a cost segregation feasibility proposal to find out what your tax benefits would be year 1 through year 5. From there it's an economic exercise. If the tax benefits created through cost segregation are significant then there is a good chance it will make sense for your commercial real estate enterprise.
MORE IMPORTANTLY....cost segregation is the bridge to a true "THREE-D" strategy
The THREE-D strategy allows owner to DEFER TAXES.... - Defer + Defer + Die

Cost Segregation: The Five (5) Point Plan for Tax Savings in 2009
FIVE POINT PLAN ( THINGS TO KNOW BOUT COST SEGREGATION )
1. Provides significant REDUCTION in Federal Taxes
2. Provides increased Operating Cash Flow....which can be used to grow your business!
3. Hotel owners can expect to accelerate depreciation 20-40% of Total Building Cost
(Existing Owners, New Acquisitions, New Construction, or Improvements)
4. Rules are sanctioned by IRS and have been on books since 1997 (see IRS Audit Techniques Guide )
5. Expect a substantial Return-on-Investment (generally no less than 20:1)
SEE THE POSSIBILITIES (CASE STUDY): http://casestudy.costsegadvisor.com/
NO RISK. NO COST. NO OBLIGATION…to find out your Expected Benefits, because a FREE assessment is performed on property -- before you spend a penny!
OUR EXPERTISE
The Cost Seg Advisor (CSA) team of experts are considered an industry leader in the usage of IRS guidelines and rulings. More importantly, we perform the preferred Engineering-based (bottom-up / full coverage) approach to Cost Segregation.
That means that we start at the bottom and classify ALL property components into the appropriate depreciation classes – 5, 7, 15, and even the 39 year components.
This level of detail ensures that we Meet or Exceed the Thirteen Elements of a Quality Study as defined by the IRS, which makes our work more defensible.
Lesser approaches such as Residual-based methodology are top-down in nature and include lesser details, which may leave both money on the table and the client in a in a “less” defensible position with IRS.

Tax Savings in 2009 - Hotels, Motels, Office and Self Storage
Commercial real estate asset acceleration involves many building components that many wouldn't think of. You can view a short list of assets that can be used to accelerate depreciation and lower your federal taxes. See it here <click here>
The other challenge when identifying building components for depreciation acceleration is a assigning costs. That's why cost segregation studies require professionals with building, engineering and tax expertise. The key to a valuable cost segregation study is details. The details enable the commercial property owner to maximize benefits (tax reductions) while balancing cost and risk. Though tens of thousands of studies have never been contested by the IRS their are some firms that take short cuts when performing studies. While the cost of the study can be reduced when taking short cuts, the risk is increased that the IRS guidelines will not be met. Not to mention leaving tax benefits on the table or in the walls so to speak.
The difference between a thorough engineering based cost segregation study and a less thorough residual cost segregation study is illustrated in the video <click here>.
From an IRS point of view there is only one method and that is an engineering based cost segregation study that provides details, Details and more DETAILS.
