Cost Segregation Study Explained (#1 Real Estate Tax Deduction?)

https://api.flightcast.com/embed/episode/01KH01D6RR6DBQ09CMYBJ3KA74?theme=dark

This could be *one of the highest ROI strategies in real estate*, yet most investors ignore it.

Imagine getting *hundreds of thousands of dollars in write-offs, saving tens of thousands in taxes*, all while you own income producing, equity-building real estate. Most investors think they know what we’re talking about in today’s show, but if they did, they’d be jumping at the chance to use it.

It’s no secret—*cost segregation studies* can become one of the most profitable weapons in your real estate investing arsenal. If you think your property is too small, too old, or too cheap to use one, *Kim Lochridge*, Executive Vice President for Engineered Tax Services, plans to prove you wrong.

Kim and her team conduct over 800 cost segregation studies a month on properties ranging from *five-figure rentals to multimillion-dollar assets.* She’s answering every question: What is a cost segregation study? *How much does a cost segregation study cost?* How much can you write off? Plus, why passive investors can unlock a treasure trove of paper losses, even if they’re still working a W-2 job.

That’s not all. Kim shares the *most tax-advantaged assets* investors can’t ignore, and the *audit red flags* she learned from a nightmare encounter with the IRS. 

This isn’t just about saving on taxes; this is about *unlocking tens of thousands in tax savings* that materially improve cash flow.
