382. Can Real Estate Developers Use Cost Segregation & Bonus Depreciation?
About this episode
This episode discusses how real estate developers can utilize cost segregation and bonus depreciation, highlighting key tax implications and strategies.
In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Thomas Castelli and Nathan Sosa break down one of the most misunderstood areas of real estate taxation: how developers are taxed and when they can (and can't) take advantage of cost segregation and bonus depreciation. They explain the key difference between developers who build to sell versus developers who build to hold, why dealer status can eliminate depreciation benefits, and how entity structure decisions can impact your ability to defer taxes, execute 1031 exchanges, and maximize long-term wealth.
