Tag: John Murphy Cost Segregation

Welcome to my new site! My goal here is to provide education, insight and information about the complicated world of cost segregation. The fact of the matter is, while it is a very complex process for those who do the work to study the buildings, it does not need to be particularly complex for the building owners and investors considering having a study done on their building(s). There are plenty of nuances about this part of the tax code but that’s what I’m here for as well as the team of people I work with along with your CPA and/or tax advisor.

My experience is that it’s probably less than 2% of building owners have applied cost segregation to their buildings. 80-90% of the owners I speak with are not familiar even with the concept. The majority of commercial brokers I speak with have a bit more knowledge of cost segregation but not enough to truly see the value it might provide their clients. Most CPAs don’t seem to utilize cost segregation in part I think because they don’t have a trusted source to get the work done for their clients. My hope here is that with this site, I can reach tens of thousands of building owners, investors, commercial brokers and agents, CPAs and other tax professionals and help them get their questions answered…and get their much deserve tax savings!

Thanks for being here. I’ll try to keep the content fresh and current.
