Will a day care center be a good fit for cost segregation?
Property and Asset Class Guidelines

Yes, day care facilities can be great candidates for cost segregation, and we've completed many with strong outcomes. We can provide a free benefit analysis with a few basic property details.

How is pricing structured for Fully Engineered studies?
Partners

Pricing is based primarily on the property's depreciable basis and complexity. Full fee tiers are outlined in our overview deck, and we can confirm exact pricing once we have the property details.

What deliverables will I receive?
Partners

Every study includes two core deliverables:


1) Cost Segregation Report (PDF)

  • Summary of findings
  • Asset classifications and recovery periods
  • CSI-format cost breakdown
  • Legal framework, methodology, and disclaimers

2) Depreciation Schedule (Excel)

  • Fixed asset listing with placed-in-service dates, methods, and bonus eligibility
  • Year-by-year depreciation breakdown
  • Formatted for direct import into tax software
What's the methodology difference between Rapid and Fully Engineered?
Partners

Fully Engineered:

  • Component-level asset breakdown
  • Engineering-based cost methodology
  • Defensible value allocation aligned with IRS guidelines

Rapid:

  • Modeled using templated engineering logic
  • Backed by expert engineer review
  • Designed for speed while maintaining compliant methodology

Both are IRS-defensible. The right choice depends on complexity and your timeline.

Are there fees to join the partnership?
Partners

No. Signing up for any R.E. Cost Seg partnership program is free. No setup fees, no minimums.

As an advisor, can I still offer clients a first-study discount?
Partners

Your advisor pricing already includes a 15% discount built in, so you have full control over how you structure client pricing. Whether you pass savings through or bundle the study into your advisory engagement is entirely up to you.

Is the proposal free?
Partners

Yes, proposals are always free. Once we have the property details, we typically turn them around within 24 hours, often same-day if information comes in early.

Can I stay in the loop on client communications?
Partners

Yes. We can CC you on communications at whatever level works for your workflow. Many partners prefer to be included early in the process, then step back once we're in the delivery phase. Just let your PSM know your preference, and we'll set it up accordingly.
