STR and Airbnb Cost Segregation Companies
Compare cost segregation providers by property fit, study scope, evidence, review and total fees. Published by Stratum; no independent ranking.
For an Airbnb or vacation rental, compare furnished-property records and the CPA handoff as carefully as the study fee. A cost segregation report does not by itself determine whether a loss offsets other income.
Publisher disclosure: Stratum provides property studies and is a commercial participant in this market. Provider inclusion is a research shortlist, not a ranking or verified endorsement for every building. Public descriptions do not establish a signed engagement.

Compare the proposed work
Ask how acquired furnishings, separately purchased furniture and later improvements are reconciled without duplication. Your preparer should evaluate use, participation, personal-use days and relevant limitations separately from component classification.
