Cost Segregation Authority was engaged to rush a study on this class B apartment property located in Lansing, Illinois in order to capitalize on benefits of accelerated depreciation prior to its sale less than 3 weeks later.

The property is a 108-unit residential apartment complex featuring 1 and 2 bedroom units sitting on 4.68 acres. We were able to reclassify the following percentages of each asset class:

5 – Year: 27.24%
7 – Year: less than 1%
15 – Year: 8.97%
Total Reclassified: 36.72%

Since it was purchased in 2011, the owners were able to submit a 481(a) catchup depreciation amount of $531,158 plus an additional $156,778 for their current year tax return prior to the sale. Even with recapture tax a year later, the savings was substantial.
