🎙️ Cost Segregation 101 with Yonah Weiss — The Cost Segregation King

In this episode of Carson’s Corner: Commercial Real Estate, Carson sits down with the one and only Yonah Weiss, widely known as The Cost Segregation King, to demystify one of the most misunderstood (and most powerful) tax strategies available to property owners.

Whether you own a small duplex, a medical office, a gas station, or an RV park, cost segregation could change your entire tax picture — and Yonah breaks it all down in plain English.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔥 Cost Segregation Explained Simply
What it is, why it exists, and how depreciation really works for property owners.

🏗️ Which Property Types Benefit Most
From multifamily to mobile home parks, RV parks, gas stations, retail centers, industrial, and more.
Spoiler: RV parks and gas stations can produce shockingly high first-year write-offs.

💰 How Small Is “Too Small” to Qualify?
Yonah explains why anything purchased over $200,000 (yes, even single-family rentals) is worth reviewing.

🧾 Audit-Proof Engineering Reports
How a 100+ page cost seg study protects you under IRS guidelines — and why you should never try to DIY depreciation.

⏳ Is It Ever Too Late to Do Cost Seg?
Why owners who bought 3, 4, even 6 years ago can still capture massive “catch-up” depreciation without amending past returns.

🏢 Business Owners: You’re Probably Missing Out
If you own the real estate your business operates in, you might be able to offset active business income — even if you’re not a real estate professional.

💼 1031 Exchanges, Opportunity Zones & Recapture
Yonah dismantles the common myths and explains how these strategies work together to reduce or eliminate recapture and capital gains.

👀 Real Stories of Lives Changed
Including the couple who retired early — because their depreciation deductions exceeded their W-2 income.

The Future of Development: Multi-Tenant Ecosystems with Micro Data Centers

Most people think of data centers as standalone mega-campuses…

But the real shift happening right now?

Mixed-use, multi-tenant ecosystems where industrial, medical, office, micro data centers, and residential all support each other — and strengthen the underwriting

In this episode, we sit down with Kamron Barr, MRED, LEED AP, the developer behind a new 150,000+ sq ft, six-building project in Clearfield, Utah that’s built on one core principle:

Instead of a single use driving the site, Kamron is layering multiple synergistic demand drivers into one vertically integrated development:

• 🛠️ Light industrial users (contractors, trades, service companies)
• 🩺 Medical office + health services
• 🏢 Professional office suites
• 🏬 Retail / consumer-facing components
• 🧠 Embedded Micro Data Centers powering AI, robotics, automation
• 🏘️ Future multifamily phase to support workforce and walkable density

Each use is intentionally placed. Each use stabilizes the others.
And together, they create a resilient, future-proof income stack that single-use developments simply can’t match.

How Kamron is structuring it:

• ⚡ On-site clean energy generation → Net Zero operations
• 💸 CPACE financing → reducing cost of capital and boosting project returns
• 🧩 59 diverse tenant spaces sized for flexibility and absorption
• 🖥️ Embedded Micro Data Centers → turning the property into digital infrastructure
• 🛠️ Full internal control of entitlement, construction, leasing, and operations
  → meaning no bottlenecks, no outsourcing drag, and no execution fog

Project Snapshot

• 8 Acres | 150,000 sq ft | 6 Buildings
• 59 Tenant Spaces Across Industrial, Medical, Office & Tech Infrastructure
• Off-market acquisition with financing secured
• $6.5M equity raise
• Located in an Opportunity Zone → ZERO capital gains after 10 years

This isn’t theory. This isn’t “someday.”
This is what diversified, tech-enabled industrial development looks like right now.

Kamron has overseen 100+ projects totaling $1,000,000,000+, spanning medical, industrial, multifamily, municipal, and manufacturing builds. He’s a LEED AP, a 40 Under Forty award recipient, and a developer with real dirt-under-the-fingernails experience.

He’s not following the trend —he’s shaping the next generation of mixed-use development.
