YouTube video by Hannah Hammond explaining how real estate investors use cost segregation paired with an Opportunity Zone to accelerate depreciation, generate large near-term tax savings, and compound wealth by reinvesting proceeds. Example figures cited: a $26 million project yielding about $6 million in tax savings; because the property is in an Opportunity Zone, Hammond states there is no depreciation recapture after 10 years, allowing long-term tax-free gains under that structure.

Chapters

Segregation is one of these tax strategies that we all use as real estate investors and developers. So it's a $26 million total cost. That's about $6 million of tax savings. That depreciation can be accelerated and reduced from the income tax year. One of starting the project. Correct. So that's what's so nice. And that's the strategy that a lot of us use to save on taxes and be able to compound our wealth quickly roll those proceeds into other developments. And because this is in an opportunity zone, they are not going to have a recapture at the end of the 10 years and they will just tax savings forever. Where normally if you sell it, there is a recapture of that and you would have to recoss egg the next property or pay your taxes at a future date.
