A new consulting service being offered by Weinstein Realty Advisors is Cost-Segregation. Cost-Segregation is the process of separating and classifying construction costs according to the classifications provided by the IRS Code Section 168(1). This is a specialized service that helps a business / corporation reduce their income tax liability while increasing cash flow. By identifying and segregating costs related to 5, 7 and 15 year property from the 39 year non-residential property costs, such property can be depreciated over a much shorter time. This study analyzes the capital expenditures or investments made in commercial, industrial, office, hospital, apartment complexes or other such related facilities. The study reviews that cost where properly allocated between the real property and personal property for the purpose of tax depreciation.
