Residential Lookback and remodel specialists.
Long-term rentals, short-term rentals, and multifamily, with a specialty in lookback studies that catch up missed depreciation.
Single-family & condo rentals
Inherited from their grandparents, a rental since 2020, with years of missed depreciation on the table. One lookback plus the 2023 remodel funded their daughter’s tuition.
Second homes & getaways
A hometown cottage that hosts family on personal trips and rents short-term in between. The timing lever for an IPO or other strong income year.
Duplexes & small multifamily
Duplexes to 20 units, inherited or long-held, mixing short-, mid-, and long-term rentals, with lookback to catch up missed depreciation.
FAQ
Common questions.
01What is a cost segregation study?
An engineering-based reclassification of building components from 27.5-year depreciation into 5-, 7-, and 15-year property, unlocking large first-year deductions through bonus depreciation.
02Can property owners work with Unlevered directly?
Yes. We built Unlevered for tax professionals, which is why it’s enterprise-grade — and owners get that same engineered study. Bring your own CPA to file the return, or we’ll connect you with one from our network.
03What does OBBBA mean for new studies?
OBBBA restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property. Every study runs the full eligibility check across placed-in-service, acquisition, and contract dates, and applies the correct bonus rate per component, including the TCJA phase-down years.
04How long does a study take?
Most studies deliver within 7 days of complete inputs. Complex multifamily can take longer. Every study clears the engineered review first.
05What’s a lookback study?
For long-held rentals that never had a cost seg study: the missed depreciation comes back as a §481(a) adjustment on the current return via Form 3115. No amended returns.
06Whose name is on the study?
Unlevered signs the study as its preparer; your firm is credited as the one who recommended it. You stay the sole tax return preparer and file from your own software. You’re never signing cost-seg work you didn’t perform.
07How does pricing work?
Firm access is free; applications are approved by hand. The only fee is per delivered study, billed to the property owner. Rates are on the partners page.
