Cost segregation for South Bend property investors
Notre Dame-driven student housing and multifamily. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in South Bend, 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 South Bend 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.
Indiana market context
Indiana's central location makes it a major distribution and logistics hub. Industrial reclassifications in Indianapolis and Northwest Indiana are especially common.
Every TDA South Bend study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
