Do a cost seg go to theWealthElevator.com/costseg
Lane hosts a monthly investor “lunch and learn” webinar replay on cost segregation with guest AJ Lyons of DIY Cost Seg, explaining how cost seg reclassifies non-structural property components into shorter 5- and 15-year lives to accelerate depreciation versus standard 27.5-year (residential) or 39-year (commercial) schedules, often pulling a significant portion of deductions into year one, especially when 100% bonus depreciation applies. They discuss who benefits (rental owners, short-term rentals, commercial, value-add renovations), timing (including doing studies after purchase via amended returns or Form 3115), CPA coordination, potential use cases like short-term rental material participation or real estate professional status, depreciation recapture considerations, pricing and fast report delivery, and audit defensibility and optional audit support. Lane also announces an accredited investor retreat Jan 15–17, 2027 and directs viewers to thewealthelevator.com/costseg and related resources.
