Quotes:
“Cost segregation basically is accelerating your depreciation.” - Eden Markowitz
“So improvements are always great for cost seg studies. It's kind of a different way because we're not looking at existing structures. We're looking at your budgets and what you spend on it.” - Eden Markowitz
“The bonus depreciation is really a big deal for mobile home parks.” - Andrew Keel
“Just as a rule of thumb, probably somewhere between 400k and 600k tax deduction for that year if you purchase a park for a million bucks.” - Eden Markowitz
