It does mean a little more work when entering invoices and creating bills or checks.

If you place your property into service (i.e. advertise it for rent) and then complete your light rehab items, any item/invoice costing less than $2,500 is deductible.

What is this invoice thing?

I will speak with her directly to at least arrange payment for her "no shows" for repair invoices.

They want an insured, licensed and bonded plumber to execute the repair for liability and insurance purposes.The only thing I negotiated that I can some freedom is I can do the hiring, pay them out of my pocket then invoice the HOA later. 

You should be invoiced in July for all six months- January through June which you were already credited three months for. 

Placement fees are generally 1 months rent plus normal punchlist items that come up initially may require 3 Maytag men with separate invoices while I can take care of all 3 issues in one trip.  

You write that you know that they bought all material - if you mean that they sent you Lowes or Home Depot invoices, then I would check with them, whether those items were returned or not.

Is there a "service item description" for this type of service that should be excluded from the invoice? 

So he sent me an invoice via paypay for the repairs and I sent the $1500,...assuming he was adding it to his portion of the repair costs.
