100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back: What Real Estate Investors Need to Know | Erik Oliver

Cost segregation expert Erik Oliver explains why this strategy now works for small rentals—and how 100% bonus depreciation changes the game.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Erik Oliver breaks down cost segregation in plain English and explains why it’s no longer just for massive commercial properties.

We cover how accelerated depreciation works, why bonus depreciation puts cost segregation “on steroids,” and how investors can unlock massive tax savings—even on single-family rentals. Erik also walks through common misconceptions, why most CPAs don’t offer cost segregation, how depreciation recapture really works, and when this strategy doesn’t make sense.

You’ll also hear how technology and AI are reducing study costs, what the process looks like step-by-step, and how investors can use cost segregation strategically to grow faster—without crossing IRS lines.

If you own real estate and pay taxes, this episode could change how you think about depreciation forever.
