Cost segregation for New Orleans property investors
Hospitality capital with hotels and STRs reclassifying aggressively. Older multifamily often has heavy land improvements. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in New Orleans, 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 New Orleans 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.
Louisiana market context
Louisiana's energy, petrochemical, and port economy drives unique industrial and hospitality cost segregation work. New Orleans STRs and hotels are particularly strong reclassification candidates.
Every TDA New Orleans study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
