Why cost segregation works in Iowa
Iowa's economy runs on agriculture, food processing, insurance, and manufacturing. Commercial real estate concentrates in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, with strong industrial and multifamily activity. An engineering-based cost segregation study reclassifies components of your Iowa property 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 can be deducted in year one.
