A property owner who bought a $1.6 million building can get bigger tax deductions by hiring a cost segregation specialist. The specialist breaks down the building into components, assigns values to each part, and identifies which ones the IRS lets you write off faster than standard depreciation allows.

Well, here's the thing. She bought the building for $1.6 million, right? And so when we bought the building, in order for her to get a better deduction, because just buying the building, this is all she gets, right? But if you hire Mark to do a cost segregation study, Mark comes in, he looks at the building and he says, your building has all these things in it. And he provides us with a price for all those things. And then he provides us with what the IRS is willing to let you write them off for so that we can build a grocery list.
