Episode 354: Maximize Real Estate Tax Savings with Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation, with Gian Pazzia
Gian Pazzia is the Chairman & Chief Strategy Officer at KBKG, where he oversees all strategic initiatives for one of the nation’s leading specialty tax firms. With over 25 years of experience in the cost segregation industry, Gian is a recognized authority in his field and a former President of the American Society of Cost Segregation Professionals (ASCSP). During his tenure, he spearheaded the publication of the first technical standards for cost segregation reports and worked closely with the IRS on audit techniques, repair regulations, and landmark tax cases.
As one of the first professionals in the U.S. to earn the Certified Cost Segregation Professional (CCSP) designation, Gian has provided expert testimony before the IRS and has been published in journals such as Accounting Today, AICPA’s Tax Advisor, and Bloomberg Tax. Before joining KBKG, he worked at two of the Big Four accounting firms, helping to develop proprietary cost segregation software and advanced training programs. Today, Gian is a sought-after speaker who has educated thousands of CPAs and real estate professionals nationwide.
In this episode, Gian and I dive into the world of cost segregation and its powerful role in boosting cash flow for real estate investors. We explore how accelerating depreciation can save investors significant money on taxes, why bonus depreciation is such a game-changer, and how even small property owners can benefit. Gian also shares insights into energy efficiency tax incentives, how technology and AI are making cost segregation more accessible, and why running real estate like a true business is the key to long-term wealth.
