In saying that some have in house maintenance and they show you invoice of their own maintenance arm, you have an INV but its internal and you can vet it.I think that once you have a large portfolio, with say 25 units or more you can create your own website with maintenance request sections.Then you can track the requests and at least know that they are real straight from the tenants.

When I asked if that was an IRS requirement or internal policy they said IRS.
