Accelerating Depreciation Through Cost Segregation for a Multifamily Housing Portfolio
Who we are
The Approach
A growing real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition and operation of multifamily properties has a portfolio of mid-sized apartment complexes totaling over 600 units. The firm sought to improve after-tax cash flow to support reinvestment and attract new capital.
Align partnered with the investor’s CPA firm to implement a strategic cost segregation study – a powerful tax deferral tool that reclassifies components of real estate into shorter-lived assets eligible for accelerated depreciation.
Key Findings
Eligible Assets
Align identified three recently acquired apartment complexes with a combined basis of $14 million eligible for cost seg studies.
