The 3 Pillars of Real Estate Wealth
From Rental Income
From Appreciation
From Depreciation
where we come in
Most focus on the first two. Few know how to fully leverage the third.
At Centiv, we specialize in maximizing depreciation benefits through cost segregation. By identifying and reclassifying short-life assets (like flooring, fixtures, and land improvements), we help you shift deductions forward into the early years of ownership. This results in lower taxable income and often, completely tax-free cash flow.
Cost Segregation is More Powerful Then Ever
With the passing of the One Beautiful Bill, 100% bonus depreciation has returned, allowing you to fully deduct qualifying property in the year it’s placed in service. This means major tax savings and improved cash flow.
Now is the perfect time to leverage cost segregation and take advantage of this new favorable tax law.
Understanding Cost Segregation
A strategic way to accelerate depreciation, cut your tax bill, and boost cash flow — fast.
Cost Segregation is an engineering-based tax strategy used to assign accurate depreciable lives to the individual assets that make up your real estate investments — from your business headquarters to your rental portfolio.
Instead of depreciating your entire property over 27.5 or 39 years, we identify and separate components like flooring, lighting, cabinets, equipment, and landscaping. These items qualify for accelerated depreciation, and many can be fully expensed in year one.
This strategy results in front-loaded deductions, lower taxable income, and immediate cash flow gains — all while staying fully compliant with IRS guidelines.
