Houston’s Leading Cost Segregation Services
Maximize Your Tax Savings

Real estate property owners use cost segregation studies as their most impactful tool to reduce tax payments. Using the cost segregation process to depreciate building components rapidly helps reduce taxable income which creates increased cash flow along with better real estate investment management.

Our firm Criterion specializes in providing cost segregation services to commercial and residential rental property owners across Houston and Texas, helping them uncover hidden tax savings. Our cost segregation studies comply fully with IRS standards while maximizing your financial benefits.

What is Real Estate Cost Segregation study?

Cost segregation studies enable real estate professionals to examine property assets for reclassification that shortens depreciation periods from 27.5 or 39 years down to 5, 7, or 15 years. The strategic implementation of this depreciation approach permits property owners to obtain more deduction ability, leading to considerable tax savings and IRS tax relief during the first years.

For every $1 million worth of property value analyzed in a cost segregation study, companies gain tax savings ranging from $30,000 to $80,000, freeing up available capital in the first five years. With the guidance of Nash Kshtriya, CPA, Criterion Business Services assists companies in taking full advantage of such savings in terms of tax planning and financial optimization, providing long-term stability and growth.
