Imagine unlocking thousands of dollars in tax savings and improved cash flow from your commercial property while positioning yourself for better loan terms. That's exactly what cost segregation can do, yet most small business owners have never heard of this powerful financial strategy.

In this eye-opening episode of TDJ Equity Funding Insiders Podcast, host Jacqueline Jackson welcomes Sarit Patel from Sahan Consulting to demystify the process that wealthy investors have been using for decades to maximize their returns. Patel, drawing from his experience as both a hotel owner and tax strategist, breaks down how properly categorizing building components into different depreciation schedules can create substantial tax benefits while simultaneously improving your financial position with lenders.

The conversation reveals how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 supercharged this strategy through bonus depreciation, allowing property owners to potentially write off hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first year of ownership. But this isn't just about tax savings – it's about strategic financial positioning. As Jackson points out, showing minimal profits on tax returns might reduce your tax bill, but it can devastate your chances of securing business financing. Cost segregation offers the best of both worlds: legitimate tax savings that actually improve your loan worthiness.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical advice for implementation. Patel explains the different approaches to cost segregation studies, from DIY methods to comprehensive engineering-based assessments, and shares real-world examples of how business owners used this strategy to survive economic downturns by converting tax savings into operational cash flow. He also addresses common misconceptions, explaining how cost segregation specialists work collaboratively with CPAs rather than competing with them.

Whether you're a seasoned property investor or a small business owner who recently purchased your first commercial building, this episode delivers actionable insights that could transform your financial strategy.
