Cost Segregation & Bonus Depreciation: The Tax Strategy That Changes Everything

What if your property could generate significant tax deductions in year one instead of being depreciated slowly over decades?

In this episode, Beckie sits down with Kim Lockridge to unpack the ins and outs of cost segregation and bonus depreciation — two of the most powerful tax strategies available to real estate investors.

This is not surface-level tax talk. It’s strategic planning that directly impacts your after-tax returns and long-term wealth building.

We break down:

What cost segregation really is (in simple terms)

How it accelerates depreciation

How bonus depreciation works alongside a cost seg study

The strengths of using this strategy

The limitations and potential downsides

Who qualifies — and when it makes sense

For many investors, this strategy can create massive upfront deductions — but only if it’s done correctly.

If you own commercial real estate or plan to invest, understanding cost segregation and bonus depreciation is a game changer.
