Cost segregation is a tax strategy that involves identifying and separating personal property assets from real property assets for tax reporting purposes. It is a method endorsed by the IRS to calculate depreciation, allowing property owners in Los Angeles to accelerate depreciation deductions. 

It works by allowing real estate investors in Los Angeles to more quickly deduct the depreciation of a property against their taxable income, which is beneficial across various types of investment properties, from single-family homes to larger commercial buildings

A cost segregation study in Los Angeles specifically dissects the construction cost or purchase price of the property into components that can be depreciated over shorter periods, like five, seven or 15 years, instead of the standard 27.5 or 39 years. This approach aims to identify all property-related costs that are eligible for accelerated depreciation, thus offering a more favorable tax treatment
