So if your project is 4 months from start to sale, you'll start work at the beginning of the month, get the invoice for the first months supplies at the end of the month, and the invoice will usually need to be paid at the end of the next month (60 days from project start - so far).

I would have asked him about the $500 on the first invoice rather than assuming anything. 

even within the methy areas, you will see pockets of nice... but dang. 

He said "Oh sorry man I just bought it I need that money ASAP, if I do not get it I will have to stop working on your flip" I asked for an invoice, he promised he would get it to me, it has been two months and I have seen nothing. 

You can download a template for a business invoice in Word, change the title to "Security Deposit Accounting" and add your business address. 

It has to be an invoice and not a quote though! 

So, I'm looking for a bank specializes in small businesses and that has three main features: - Great online/mobile platform that has all of the latest features: wire/transfer funds, auto-pay, invoicing, no or limited fees, links with Quick Books, categorizing transactions, etc. - Offers competitive-rate/feature lines of credit and/or credit cards to Real Estate investment and management companies- Specializes in small (100K-2M) CRE financing that can: refinance, fund acquisition, umbrella, blanket, portfolio loans.I've done a couple searches and it looks like Wells Fargo and Capital One are the front runners.

If that isn't a possibility, include in lease that tenant agrees to pay 50% of total bill then send them an invoice.

I keep photos and/or invoices as needed as well.

I am waiting on an invoice to be paid out for that same amount.
