Cost segregation for Mobile property investors
Port city with industrial, hospitality, and STR opportunities along the Gulf coast. Hospitality reclassifications often exceed 30%. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Mobile, an engineering-based cost segregation study reclassifies components of your building from 27.5- or 39-year real property into 5-, 7-, and 15-year MACRS class lives.
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), 100% bonus depreciation has been restored for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025 — meaning every dollar of accelerated property identified in your Mobile study can be deducted in year one. For a typical property in this market, that often translates to 20–35% of cost basis reclassified into shorter recovery periods.
Alabama market context
Alabama combines a low cost of doing business with strong industrial, automotive, and aerospace corridors. Commercial real estate investors find affordable basis on warehouses, multifamily near major employment centers, and retail strips serving growing suburbs.
Every TDA Mobile study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
