COO and Principal – Commercial Real Estate Company – East Coast
As part of our commercial property acquisition process, we have a standard item on our checklist to obtain a cost segregation study. This has been a valuable tool in our Federal tax reporting and establishing the correct asset allocation. O’Conner’s service has always been timely and reasonable in cost. In a recent situation, we changed the holding character of a property from held for investment to in service at the last minute. This required a very short time line on getting the Cost Segregation Study. O’Conner was able to deliver. Additionally, O’Conner quickly adapted their studies to meet the requirements of recent repair regulation changes published by the IRS. They worked with us to maximize calculations of abandoned assets from prior acquisitions to further increase our deductions.
Controller, Commercial Property Owner/Manager – Nationwide
My clients have had more than a dozen cost segregation studies completed, but after being unhappy with a previous firm, I conducted a thorough due diligence on O’Connor & Associates as well as other providers. I came back to my client with a positive recommendation, upon which they submitted 4 of their commercial properties located in the Midwest. O’Connor & Associates delivered timely and thorough reports. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to other attorneys or commercial property owners.
