Matty A. explores a powerful yet overlooked CRE asset poised to shine in 2025. He unpacks why mainstream investors are missing out and how you can take advantage to build substantial wealth.

Market Context & Opportunities

• CRE markets are stabilizing after 2024 volatility. Lower interest rates and macroeconomic tailwinds create favorable conditions for buyers in 2025 

• Alternative property types such as medical offices, senior/student housing, and last-mile logistics are gaining attention due to supply constraints and rising demand 

Why This Underrated Asset?

• It combines defensive characteristics (non-discretionary use) with consistent yields a sweet spot between safety and upside 

• These assets align well with longer-term investor horizons and capital cycle trends.

Tax Strategy Play: Cost Segregation + Bonus Depreciation

• With bonus depreciation at 40% in 2025 (phasing out by 2027), pairing with cost segregation unlocks major immediate deductions 

• Studies remain powerful even post-2027, helping you front-load depreciation and boost early cash flow.

• Case studies show investors saving hundreds of thousands, even millions, with these tactics.

How to Move Forward in 2025

• Act now! Lock in 40% bonus depreciation before the clock ticks down 

• Commission a cost segregation study on new or recent acquisitions to reclassify eligible assets.

• Use pro formats (e.g., Form 3115) to apply studies retroactively and capture “catch-up” depreciation 

• Align asset selection with macro trends: target recovery in industrial and adaptive reuse in office, student/senior housing, or last-mile logistics 

Key Takeaways

• The best CRE in 2025 may not be headline-grabbing but fundamentals, tax efficiency, and demographic trends make it a standout.

• A powerful combination of boosted cash flow and tax savings sets this asset apart.

• Prep your strategy now to take full advantage before 2027’s bonus depreciation phase-out.

Resources & Next Steps

• Links to top cost segregation experts and bonus depreciation breakdowns.

• Bonus Depreciation Cheat Sheet (40% today, 20% in 2026, 0% by 2027).

• Playlist: “Alternative CRE Asset Deep Dives.”
