In this brief YouTube short, two speakers discuss how real estate investors can potentially obtain tax relief on capital gains through cost segregation studies. Speaker A asks whether cost segregation can provide relief for capital gains, noting the different tax treatment compared to active income. Speaker B explains that the ability to use cost segregation to offset capital gains depends on whether the investor qualifies as a real estate professional. If they do, cost segregation benefits can be applied, particularly for short‑term rental properties, allowing those gains to be reduced.
