#145 - Bonus Depreciation & Cost Seg: The Tax Strategy Pilots Can’t Ignore with Gian Pazzia
About this episode
Tait Duryea and Gian Pazzia discuss the benefits and applications of cost segregation as a tax strategy for real estate investors.
What if the IRS already allows you to write off far more of your real estate, but no one ever showed you how? In today’s episode, Tait Duryae sits down with Gian Pazzia to break down cost segregation in plain English and explain why it remains one of the most powerful tax strategies for real estate investors. Building on last week’s depreciation primer with Hall CPA, this episode covers how cost segregation works, when it makes sense, audit risk myths, and how pilots can apply it to everything from single-family rentals to commercial deals. You’ll also learn about a new, low-cost software option that makes cost seg accessible to smaller investors. Gian Pazzia is a structural engineer and tax strategist with over 25 years of experience specializing in cost segregation studies. He is the founder of KBKG, one of the largest cost segregation firms in the country. Gian began his career at Arthur Andersen, working on large-scale commercial projects, and has since helped thousands of real estate investors legally accelerate depreciation and reduce tax liability through IRS-compliant strategies.
