Commercial INVESTORS: 1031 Exchange & Cost Segregation ( like Pea's and Carrots!)


Commercial Investors....think Forrest Gump and he would tell you that:

To REDUCE your tax burden and KEEP more of your cash you need to utilize as many LEGAL strategies as possible.   Those strategies should always include:
  • 1031 Exchange 
  • Cost Segregation
Just like "Peas and Carrots" these two go together and should be a part of EVERY investors tax strategy, because they produce "real" Tax Savings and cash that can allow many things, such as Purchase of New Property,  Renovations,  Improvements,  Energy Efficient Projects,  Inventory, Unexpected Expenses ( i.e. Insurance), kids tuition, or even that long deserved VACATION!

Don't believe me....Just do the MATH!   

If after exercising the 1031 Exchange option, look at the remaining value of the purchased property.
----------------------------------------------------
Example:
   Cost Basis of Purchased Property:         $7,500,000
   Deferred from Original Property:             5,000,000

   Remaining Value / Tax Basis:                     2,500,000   <--- cost seg eligible!
----------------------------------------------------

Or just contact COST SEG ADVISOR (CSA) directly and we will provide a FREE estimate on the additional tax savings you could realize through our services.....all in 3-4 days.

>   NO RISK.  NO OBLIGATION.  NO COST.

ROI usually in the 15 to 20:1 range....and could be even higher, depending on the remaining value.

NOTE:  a complete study usually takes 30-45 days, so you get that money FAST!!!

How long has Cost Segregation been around with Building Depreciation [ how about since 1962 - 1997 - Present Day ]

When talking with Commercial Building Owners (and Leaseholders with Tenant Improvements) many often ask: Is this cost segregation thing NEW? Why have I not heard of it?

I tell them that Cost Seg is as old and James Reid -- and you had never heard of him before this blog entry either had you -- but he too brings SOLUTIONS to help business owners?

> Okay, so that really isnt funny.

Back to the History...

HISTORY OF COST SEGREGATION (see table below)
1962: Cost segregation (or component based analysis) has been around since 1962! That right...47 years ago it was first introduced as a part of the ITC (Investment Tax Credit).

1986: Overturned and at that point only the "deep pocket" companies would ever wade into the cost segregation waters, simply because of the threat of Tax Court from IRS.

1997: a Brand New Day... (HCA ruling opens cost seg ) includes "ALL" commercial property owners. BIG and small....corporate and private. Organized and not so organized.

This "NEW DAY" of cost segregation provides tax savings that could really mean HUNDREDS of Thousands of dollars that can be used to:
  • Grow Their Busines
  • Buy inventory
  • Increase Staff
  • Buy more properties
  • go on Vacation!

Whatever the owner wants...ITS THEIR MONEY!

-----------------------------------------------------

HOW IT WORK: Building Owners can get a FREE / No Cost analysis of their property, which will tell them clearly the Tax savings they can expect...along with a ROI that should impress

By getting the numbers UPFRONT, it makes this a "Business Decision" and not a "Sales Pitch"

Helping Others: Contacts Mean CASH to Charities ( a Cost Seg Advisor way) - Building Depreciation provide the means!

I recently had a friend start a volunteer organization called "Helpful Hoopla" (www.HelpfulHoopla.org) which is intended to be a place where those interested in volunteering and enriching their life can gather and find compatible volunteer opportunities and people with like interest.

Well...we at Cost Seg Advisor (CSA) also wants to help "fund" organizations like this, so ANYONE who can recommend or introduce us to a Commercial Building Owner and if they acquire a full cost segregation study -- which helps them REDUCE their taxes -- we will make a donation to "Helpful Hoopla" or your favorite charity.


Simple as that!

So go through that Rolodex (old school) or Friends List or Follower or whatever your contacts are called and find those who own -- or those whose parents own -- commercial property and lets see if we can generate business and HELP others as well.

Professional property managers, CPM and members of IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management) should be aware of and "recommending" COST SEGREGATION to their owners.

WHY: because in these tough economic times, cash is KING and cost segregation is all about keeping cash in the pockets of owners. And we are talking HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars. Money that can be used to maintain or sustain existing properties...or possibly money to acquire NEW properties. And of course a new property is an additional revenue stream.

SKEPTICAL? Dont be - Cost Segregation has been on the books since 1997 and is a IRS sanctioned and viable tax strategy that every commercial property owners should investigate.

WHY NOT be the one to suggest it to your clients...ALL OF THEM!!

MORE IMPORTANTLY the differnce that Cost Seg Advisor offers and why it is differnt -- BETTER -- than the product that others provide.

The "Difference" is in the DETAILS

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.
