What is this check?Basis Property Group runs engineering-based cost segregation studies for commercial and short-term rental owners. The check above gives a preliminary read on whether a study is worth commissioning for your property. It is the same free screen every owner runs before they ever pay a dollar or see a quote. The Standard Way
One 39-year schedule: 100% After An Engineering Study
5-year fixtures 7-year furnishings 15-year site work Stays on the 39-year shell An engineering study carves out the 5, 7, and 15-year pieces. This year, 100% of that accelerated portion can land on one filing. Not a loophole, settled law since 1997. James bought a Poconos cabin for $310,000. Our study found $68,000 trapped inside. At his 37% tax rate, $20,000 came back in cash the same year. He put it into a hot tub and a finished basement, raised his nightly rate 30 percent, and the cabin now pays him an additional $14,000 every year. (Client example. Individual results vary.) A real commercial study, a free-standing restaurant: roughly 67 to 1 on the study fee back in first-year accelerated deductions. (Real cost segregation study. Client details anonymized. Individual results vary.) Every study carries our minimum ROI guarantee: it identifies a large multiple of its fee in first-year accelerated deductions, or you do not pay for it. Short-term rentals return a minimum of 30 to 1 in first-year deductions, typically 100:1, or the study is free. Real commercial studies we have delivered have returned between 24 to 1 and 67 to 1 on the fee, each backed by the same guarantee.
