Historic Preservation Credits

1031 Exchanges
Cost segregation studies and 1031 Exchanges are two of the most valuable tax strategies available to real estate owners today. MSC professionals often utilize a strategy that combines both tools.
Qualified Improvement Properties
Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) allows faster depreciation for interior upgrades to existing nonresidential buildings—generally unlocking bonus depreciation. MSC helps identify eligible improvements and maximize your tax savings.
Tangible Property Regulations
Over the last 10 years, there has been over 1,000 pages of new tax law that affects Real Estate Owners or businesses that own a lot of fixed assets. At MSC, we have been on the cutting edge of these changes.
