Quote from @Scott MacComb: I have had contractors just do a small list on a paper napkin, and some do something on a word document.

Additionally, considering the time value of money is crucial, as deferred gains and tax efficiencies may improve long-term returns despite upfront losses being largely on paper.

So even with me living in the 2/1 it cash flows just barely (at least on paper) but it looks pretty good once I would move out.

and as a lender in possession the paper was rock solid .. never had one default.. 18 months in the house is half paid.

If there are clear signs of negligence (kid throws down, paper towels, food, fats) then you can get the invoice from the plumber with the notes and present it to them. 

Podio is extremely flexible and extensible.All that being said, here's the big challenge with Podio:  when you first sign up for Podio, there's a demo workspace with apps, but it can still look like a "blank sheet of paper." 

Replaced both toilets with brand new ones, replaced the 2 car- garage door with a brand new one, had all the walls freshly painted, put brand new baseboards in, and had the kitchen cabinets painted as well.

In addition being able to do your own searchs and one thing out west here that was very productive for us/me was just going through the big Plat maps ( the actual mylar / paper ones in the day) We could find shadow plats.

It doesn't mention requiring paper receipts at all.

These expenses can create a paper loss, which may offset other passive income or carry forward to future years.If you qualify for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or actively manage a Short-Term Rental (STR), the losses can be applied against your active W-2 or business income, reducing your overall tax liability.
