In this episode of "Real Deal Investing", host Jerron Kelley, a seasoned real estate attorney talk with Kim Lochridge, an expert in cost segregation and tax strategies for real estate investors.
Kim is from Engineered Tax Services and she shares invaluable insights on tax savings strategies specifically designed for sophisticated real estate investors. Kim, an experienced investor herself, highlights the importance of cost segregation, a method of accelerated depreciation that allows property owners to categorize and depreciate assets within a property more rapidly than traditional methods. Unlike standard straight-line depreciation, which spans 39 years for commercial properties and 27.5 years for residential ones, cost segregation enables investors to write off components like carpets and HVAC systems over shorter periods—sometimes as little as five years.
The discussion clarifies common misconceptions about cost segregation, emphasizing that it applies exclusively to income-generating properties, not primary residences. Kim underscores the importance of engaging engineers to conduct cost segregation studies, as they are essential for accurately assessing the value of various components within a property. Additionally, she explains the IRS’s preferred methods and guidelines for cost segregation, reinforcing the method’s legitimacy and potential tax benefits.
Furthermore, Kim discusses eligibility for cost segregation studies, which can apply to new constructions, renovations over $50,000, and even improvements in leased spaces. She reassures attendees that even if they missed the opportunity to apply cost segregation at the time of purchase, they can still benefit from it retroactively.
Kim's presentation serves as a comprehensive guide for real estate investors looking to maximize their tax savings through effective strategies like cost segregation and bonus depreciation.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
