Let's look at your example of a roofer, assuming he owns the company.He has to pay for employees- they still get paid, even if they are not giving 100% effort.He has to pay his workers to go back for warranty work - effectively paying them to do the same job twice.He has to pay for equipment, even when it's not being used 100% of the time.- but the company he bought it from still gets paid.He has to pay for advertising, whether it works or not.- but the advertising company still gets paid.He has to pay for accounting services, payroll services, tax services, legal services, etc.- they all get paid whether he makes money or not.So, what's your point?

Cost segregation recapture on a teardown property
