Your Airbnb Is Hiding $30,000–$80,000 in Savings You Haven't Claimed Yet
Most Airbnb hosts depreciate over 39 years and leave tens of thousands on the table. A cost segregation study moves the majority of that into Year 1, legally, IRS-compliantly, with a real person guiding you every step of the way.

Who Has Skin in the Game
Most cost segregation reps hand you a study and disappear. I'm different, because I'm a real estate investor myself. I know what it feels like to wonder if every dollar is being maximized, to want IRS-compliant peace of mind, and to need a real person you can actually reach.
As a licensed financial professional (Series 6 & 63) and cost segregation specialist, powered by CSSI Services, America's leading engineering-based firm, I bring both technical precision and genuine investor empathy to every client relationship.
I moved to the U.S. from Poland at 27 and built my career through resilience, education, and relationships. I bring that same dedication to helping Airbnb hosts and short-term rental investors keep more of what they've earned.
Why Airbnb Hosts Get the Biggest Cost Segregation Wins
Short-term rental properties are uniquely positioned to extract outsized tax benefits. Here's why.
Furnished Properties = Bigger Deductions
Airbnb hosts invest heavily in furnishings: beds, appliances, hot tubs, decor, electronics. All of that is 5-year personal property instead of 39-year building. More furnishings = more to accelerate into Year 1.
The STR Loophole: Offset Your W-2
If you materially participate in your STR (100+ hours/year, average stay ≤7 days), depreciation losses are active (not passive). They offset your W-2 salary, consulting income, or business profits directly.
100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back, Permanently Restored
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (July 2025) permanently restored 100% bonus depreciation. Every dollar reclassified is fully deductible in Year 1, no phase-outs, no waiting, no guesswork.
Outdoor Improvements Qualify Too
Decks, patios, landscaping, fencing, pools, fire pits, and driveways are 15-year land improvements. With bonus depreciation, the full amount is deductible immediately, a big win for resort-style Airbnbs.
Claim Years of Missed Deductions at Once
Owned your Airbnb for 3+ years without a cost seg study? A lookback study via Form 3115 lets you claim all missed depreciation in this year's return, no amended filings needed.
IRS-Endorsed: Zero Audit History
Cost segregation is explicitly supported by IRS guidelines. Powered by CSSI, 60,000+ engineering-based studies, 23+ years of operation, and a perfect audit record. Not one, ever.
What Cost Segregation Actually Does to Your Tax Bill
Engineering-based studies reclassify 25–40% of your Airbnb's depreciable basis into accelerated asset classes. Combined with 100% bonus depreciation, Year 1 results are transformative.
A study can save property owners $30,000–$80,000 per $1 million in building value within the first five years.
- Furniture, appliances, flooring & fixtures → 5-year property
- Specialty fixtures, custom finishes → 7-year property
- Landscaping, decks, pools, fencing → 15-year property
- 100% bonus: all qualifying assets fully deducted in Year 1
- STR loophole: losses offset W-2 and active income
- Lookback studies available for properties owned 7+ years
