NCREIA - Charlotte Chapter

Join the North Carolina Real Estate Investors Association online for Multi-Family/Commercial Focus Group: Cost Segregation for LPs and GPs — “Invest Smarter, Raise Smarter” featuring cost segregation expert, commercial banker, and active real estate sponsor Erich Feierabend!

What You’ll Learn in This High-Value Session:

• The Power of Year-1 Depreciation: Discover how reclassifying 20–35% of a building into 5-, 7-, or 15-year property allows for 100% bonus depreciation in Year 1 (under updated tax guidelines).
• The LP Advantage & K-1 Impact: Understand how large K-1 losses (often ~74% of invested equity) offset passive income immediately, or carry forward indefinitely for W-2 investors.
• Real Estate Professional Status (REPS): Learn how qualifying for REPS can turn passive depreciation losses into non-passive write-offs against active W-2 or business income.
• Capital Raising Strategy for GPs: How sponsors can legally and effectively present tax-advantaged return projections to potential equity partners to close funding faster.

Erich Feierabend is a National Account Executive at Cost Segregation Services, LLC (CSSI), an active LP/GP investor, and a former private banker. Over his career in banking and senior roles at top national property tax consulting firms, Erich has helped clients save more than $50 million in taxes.
