Cost Segregation Study in Miami, FL

Accelerate Depreciation. Reduce Taxes. Keep More Cash.

If you own a rental or commercial property in Miami or South Florida, a cost segregation study could unlock major tax savings—especially if you’ve recently purchased, built, or renovated.

At GH Tax Advisors, we help Miami real estate investors, landlords, and business owners get larger deductions faster—using a strategy fully recognized by the IRS.

 

💡 What Is a Cost Segregation Study?

A cost segregation study breaks down your property into parts that depreciate more quickly—so you can claim larger tax deductions sooner.

Instead of 27.5 or 39 years, you could depreciate:

  • Flooring

  • Appliances

  • HVAC and electrical

  • Landscaping

  • Driveways

  • Built-in cabinetry

These items often qualify for 5, 7, or 15-year depreciation schedules—which can add up to tens of thousands in early-year savings.

 

🔍 How It Works

Instead of depreciating your entire building evenly over decades, we:

  1. Inspect and analyze your property

  2. Identify and reclassify eligible components

  3. Provide IRS-compliant schedules for faster write-offs


Whether it’s your Airbnb in Brickell or your office building in Coral Gables, our team makes sure you don’t leave deductions on the table.

 

 

🏠 Example: Miami Rental Property

Bought a $600,000 rental property in Miami?

  • Traditional depreciation: ~$19,600/year

  • With cost segregation: Up to $100,000 in Year 1
    (if eligible for bonus depreciation)

That’s over 5X the tax savings upfront—money you can reinvest, save, or use to grow your portfolio.

✅ Who Should Get a Cost Segregation Study?

You could benefit if you’re:

  • A landlord or Airbnb host in Miami or Fort Lauderdale

  • An investor in Brickell, Coral Gables, Kendall, or Doral

  • A buyer of newly purchased or recently renovated properties

  • A high-income earner looking to offset tax liability


Even older properties may qualify thanks to IRS catch-up depreciation rules.

🚀 Why It Matters
