Concierge at your Service

If you have managed to turn your racing or car collecting hobby into a business, there are clear and compelling benefits to owning—rather than leasing—the space where you store your collection. At Club Auto Sport, you get a space that’s purpose-built for storing and working on cars, with special ventilation systems and secure 24x7 access. You can customize your unit to meet your precise requirements. And you can finally control your storage costs—no rent increases!

In addition, any owner who purchases a unit at Club Auto Sport can look forward to the tremendous potential for long-term appreciation in property values, enhanced by the project’s prime location adjacent to the North First Street transportation corridor in the heart of Silicon Valley’s Golden Triangle

This can provide you or your business with increasing value year after year, for as long as you hold your space at Club Auto Sport. The sooner you get in, the more potential appreciation you may enjoy. While clearly there are no guarantees, in the past owning real estate in Silicon Valley has proven to be a smart investment.

But the most immediate returns for owners who have organized their avocation as a business will come from the tax benefits of owning your own business property—benefits that can be so significant, they will pay you to buy a Club Auto Sport condominium.

Equally important, timing is critical. Every day that you don’t own is a day of lost tax benefits. And with rental costs rising quickly—due to a strong job market, scarce land and soaring construction costs—that’s money out of your pocket.

So don’t wait. In this case, time really is money. Money that you could keep for your business when tax time rolls around each year.

Let’s take a closer look at how the tax benefits add up for you.

Cost segregation pays dividends

The advantages start with real estate cost segregation, a smart way to accelerate the depreciation on your business property. In simplest terms, cost segregation lets you recover certain building costs over fifteen, seven, or even five years, rather than depreciating the entire value of a building—minus the land cost—over the standard 39 years.

Even the smallest businesses can use the accelerated depreciation of cost segregation to save thousands of dollars in taxes up-front. Let Borelli Investment Company explain how you can take advantage of this tax break NOW.

Section 179 tax incentive offers more breaks

In addition to accelerated depreciation, cost segregation gives you the opportunity to take Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 179 deductions on your office condominium.

Business owners can file for a first-year deduction of up to $250,000 (2008 figure—adjusted for COLA each year) in accelerated depreciation on 5- and 7-year personal property identified in the cost-segregation analysis.

When combined with the usual business deductions for real estate taxes, association dues, and other expenses, cost segregation and Section 179 deductions can easily add up to tens of thousands of dollars for the typical buyer—which makes Club Auto Sport affordable for virtually everyone. A close examination of our "Lease vs. Buy" analysis will show you how these benefits can add up. Of course, you'll want to consult with your tax professional about your specific situation to learn how these benefits might apply to your purchase.

Bottom line: today's unique tax advantages and attractive financing options mean the time to buy at Club Auto Sport is now, and they put ownership within the reach of more small businesses than ever before.

Note—The above discussion does not take into account every tax situation for all businesses or individuals. Not all tax laws have been considered—for example, passive loss and at-risk rules or alternative minimum tax (AMT) requirements could alter the tax benefits. Potential owners should contact a tax advisor before making purchase decisions.
