Behind the Numbers in Our Cost Segregation Calculator

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Looking for a Cost Seg Study for your property?

I get this question all the time: “How much would a cost seg study actually save me?”

So my team and I decided to build the Maven Cost Segregation Calculator to give folks a quick, realistic estimate of how much they can save based on property type, tax rate, and a few other inputs.

But most people don’t know what those inputs really mean, or how lease type, depreciable basis, and bonus depreciation all factor in.

So I wrote up a full walkthrough that breaks down:

How the calculator works
Where the numbers come from
What kind of tax savings you might be looking at

This tool was built using data from hundreds of actual studies, so you can get a realistic estimate in 60 seconds.

If you’ve ever been curious about how much you could save (or just want to nerd out on depreciation schedules, check out the link below.

I recently got back from the Limitless Real Estate Conference in Dallas. This conference wasn’t about sitting in a room taking notes all day. For me, it was about shaking hands, having real conversations, and getting more “touch points” with people in 48 hours than I’d normally get in a year. This was my first time sponsoring an event and going in I wasn't so sure about it. And while I was exhausted by the time I was on the plane back to Michigan, I knew we made the right decision to invest...

New Tool to Track Your REPS Hours the Right Way

I’ve been getting the same question over and over lately: “How do I actually track my REPS hours?” If you’re trying to qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS), you know the threshold:750 hours and more time in real estate than anything else. But the real challenge is proving it. Most investors don’t document their time in a way that holds up under IRS scrutiny. And spreadsheets get messy fast.

100% Bonus Depreciation is Back...For Good!

Big news out of D.C. over the holiday weekend: The President signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill" on July 4th, a bill that brings back 100% bonus depreciation. I’m excited about what this means for real estate investors: The ability to fully deduct short-life assets (like flooring, appliances, and site improvements) in year one, instead of spreading those deductions over decades. More cash in your pocket today to reinvest, de-risk, or take on new deals. A renewed opportunity to leverage cost...
