Cost segregation for Example Advisory Group clients
A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of your building from 27.5- or 39-year depreciation into 5-, 7- and 15-year property, so the deductions arrive sooner instead of spread evenly over decades. Example Advisory Group clients get an IRS-compliant study from ClickDrag Finance, coordinated through Example Advisory Group, delivered in days rather than months.

Powered by ClickDrag FinanceWhat is a cost segregation study?
A cost segregation study is an engineering-based analysis that reclassifies parts of a building — flooring, cabinetry, dedicated electrical, parking and land improvements — from 27.5- or 39-year depreciation into 5-, 7- and 15-year property, so deductions arrive sooner instead of spread evenly across the full recovery period.
Who does it pay for?
A study pays off when three conditions line up: enough depreciable basis relative to the study fee, deductions you can actually use this year given your passive-activity position, and a hold period long enough to outlast §1245 recapture on the reclassified property. All three, or it usually is not worth running yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Example Advisory Group perform the cost segregation study?
No — ClickDrag Finance performs the engineering-based cost segregation study. Example Advisory Group coordinates the relationship and stays your point of contact; ClickDrag Finance does the depreciation classification, the IRS-compliant report, and the supporting workpapers.
What does a cost segregation study cost?
ClickDrag Finance studies run $4,000–$14,000 depending on property size and complexity, with a $500 AI-generated report available to start. Legacy engineering firms typically charge $40,000–$70,000 for comparable work, so a ClickDrag Finance study costs about 80% less.
I bought the property years ago — can I still benefit?
Yes. Under Rev. Proc. 2015-13, a look-back study claims the depreciation you missed in prior years through a Form 3115 change-in-accounting-method filing — without amending any prior-year tax returns.
What if I sell the property soon after the study?
The components a study reclassifies into 5-, 7- and 15-year property are subject to §1245 ordinary-income recapture on sale, so how soon you plan to sell — and how long you actually hold — determines whether accelerating the deductions is worth it for your situation.
