How fast do I get the free preliminary analysis back?

Every preliminary analysis is returned within four business hours during US Eastern hours. The estimate is engineer-reviewed, not automated, and includes projected first-year deduction, estimated federal and state tax savings, and a fee quote. Submissions received outside business hours are answered by 12:00 pm ET the next business day.

How much does the free proposal cost and what am I committing to?

The preliminary analysis is $0 and requires no payment, no contract, and no obligation to proceed. There is no upsell call and no drip email sequence. If the numbers do not clear the fee, WeCostSeg says so in writing. Investors are free to take the estimate to any other provider.

Do I have to submit the form or can I use WhatsApp?

Both work. WhatsApp the founder directly for the fastest turnaround; typical response time on WhatsApp is under 30 minutes during US Eastern hours. The form routes to the same inbox and receives the same four-business-hour engineer-reviewed reply. Attach photos or closing documents in either channel.

What information do I need to request a proposal?

Property address, property type, purchase price, and placed-in-service date are required. Land value is optional; WeCostSeg defaults to 20% of purchase price when blank. Prior cost seg history and current tax strategy (REPS, STR loophole, passive income) are optional but sharpen the estimate. CPA name and email are optional and enable the CC on delivery.

Will you contact my CPA about the proposal?

Only if you enter the CPA name and email. WeCostSeg follows a three-touch CPA Coordination Protocol: preliminary analysis CC'd to your CPA on intake, draft report shared for CPA review five business days before final delivery, and Form 3115 prep coordinated when a Section 481(a) adjustment applies. No cold outreach.

What if my property is too small to justify a study?

The preliminary analysis states this in writing. WeCostSeg does not run studies on residential property with depreciable basis under $150K because the fee exceeds the tax benefit for most investors at that scale. In that case, the analysis explains why and points to alternative deductions like Section 179.

Can I get a proposal on a property I bought years ago?

Yes. The proposal covers look-back studies under Form 3115 (Designated Change Number 7), which captures missed depreciation from prior years via a Section 481(a) catch-up adjustment in the year of change. No amended returns are required. Provide the placed-in-service date and prior depreciation schedule.
