Tax depreciation coordination
Find potential accelerated depreciation within the property.
Cost-segregation opportunity screening and study coordination for commercial and income-producing residential real estate.
How Highland helps
In coordination with Value Added Assets and the client’s CPA or tax advisor, Highland helps screen properties, organize source information, and coordinate the path to a formal engineering-based cost-segregation study.
A cost-segregation study may identify qualifying building components that can be assigned to shorter depreciation lives. The value depends on the property, placed-in-service timing, tax position, study cost, and the client’s professional tax advice.
