Erik Oliver has a degree in accounting and has been working with CPAs across the country for the past seven years to help accelerate real estate investment deductions, helping to save investors money on taxes. Cost segregation is accelerated depreciation, helping real estate investors take depreciation deductions against their incomes, by segregating various costs in real estate investment – such as carpets or tile – and front loading these deductions in the early years of an investment, rather than spreading it out across a 15 or 30 year period. The government incentivizes this to help stimulate the economy and the Tax and Jobs Act of 2018 increased depreciation deductions to 100% through December 2022.
