For the past 20 years, the American Society of Cost Segregation Professionals (ASCSP) has worked to advance the cost segregation profession through education, certification, ethical standards, and technical excellence.

For real estate investors, that means something important:

The industry has become more professional, more standardized, and more accountable.

The CCSP designation, in particular, represents a commitment to the technical knowledge and professional standards required to perform high-quality cost segregation studies.

At FindCostSeg, we believe investors should have access to reliable information and qualified professionals when evaluating a cost segregation study. That starts with understanding what separates a professional study from simply running a depreciation estimate through a calculator.

So today, we're celebrating 20 years of ASCSP and its contribution to the cost segregation industry.

Congratulations on the milestone, and here's to the next 20 years. 👏

Car dealerships are spending millions to compete with online buyers.

Glass showrooms. Digital feature walls. Service bays built for speed.

Almost none of them are claiming the tax benefit sitting inside that spend.

Here's a real case study.

A Nissan dealership. Built in 2024. Masonry and steel frame, vinyl plank floors, full site package (paving, lighting, fencing, landscaping). Doors opened in February 2025.

Total cost basis: $17M.

The default move: depreciate the whole thing as one asset over 39 years.

The better move... a cost segregation study.
