Unlock Hidden Profits Through Strategic Tax Savings
We know that property taxes and slow depreciation schedules can feel like a drain on your liquid capital. Many owners rely on traditional 27.5 or 39-year straight-line depreciation, unknowingly leaving thousands of dollars on the table every year.
Fresh HR’s Engineered Cost Segregation identifies assets that can be depreciated in as little as 5, 7, or 15 years, resulting in immediate, measurable tax benefits that strengthen your bottom line.

FAQ: COMMON COST SEGREGATION QUESTIONS
How does cost segregation improve cash flow for Michigan property owners?
By reclassifying personal property and land improvements out of the standard 39-year real property life, owners in Macomb and Oakland County can claim larger depreciation deductions in the early years of ownership. This significantly reduces your current tax liability, keeping more cash in your operating account.
Is it too late to do a cost segregation study on a building I already own?
No. You can perform a “look-back” study on properties acquired or renovated in previous years without filing an amended return. Fresh HR helps you capture these missed deductions in the current year, providing a decisive boost to your present-day liquidity.
What types of properties benefit most from cost segregation?
While almost any commercial property qualifies, we see the highest ROI for multi-family apartments, warehouses, and specialized medical facilities. Our localized expertise in the Southeast Michigan market ensures we understand the specific asset classes common to our region.
How long does an engineered cost segregation study take?
In alignment with our commitment to responsiveness, we provide a no-commitment statement of work rapidly. The full engineering-based analysis typically takes 4–6 weeks, ensuring a grounded and decisive final report that is ready for tax season.
