We are a team of tax professionals and engineers dedicated to helping residential rental property investors maximize their depreciation deductions through IRS-compliant cost segregation studies.
Stratum Cost Segregation was founded with a singular focus: to deliver precise, affordable, and defensible cost segregation studies to residential rental property investors. Whether you own one Airbnb or a portfolio of long-term rentals, our engineering-based approach ensures that every eligible dollar is reclassified into accelerated depreciation categories.
Too many property investors leave money on the table because they either do not know about cost segregation or believe it is only for large commercial buildings. That is not the case. A single-family rental purchased for $350,000 can yield $25,000 to $50,000 in first-year depreciation deductions through a properly conducted cost segregation study.
The name Stratum comes from the geological concept of layers. Just as the earth is composed of distinct strata, every building is composed of distinct components with different useful lives. Our job is to identify each layer and classify it correctly under the IRS tax code, unlocking deductions that straight-line depreciation would spread over decades.
We serve property investors in all 50 states and have completed over 5,000 studies. Our reports are prepared by licensed engineers and reviewed by tax professionals, ensuring they meet the highest standards for IRS compliance and audit defense.
