We have the invoice from the guy who did the "repair" and it was like $50.

It's no different than your neighbor bragging how he got the dealer to come down to $5k under invoice on some car, when the reality is that he probably gave his trade in away for a dollar. 

David Dang Welcome to BP.

Dang good idea.

You would need to check with your CPA.Whether or not you use a property management company, and whether or not you have a business set up, keep records of all your income (rent receipts, deposit statements, etc) and expenses (invoices from maintenance companies, payment of taxes, etc.).

@Long Dang's idea is solid for collecting more information.

We have our bank account set up where we can accept payments from PayPal, Square or send them an invoice through our bank account or web site or square.

I'm guessing you could pay them a W-2 salary, or they could be an independent contractor and paid a commission or invoice their charges each month.

@Michael Dang, thank you very much!
