Even in the absence of a 1099, you are required to report all income on your tax returns. 

I'm not sure if I can do anything beyond call a heating company which I imagine has an opinion ab what I order.Eric,    When I get a new to me property i will generally do the work myself, everyone is afraid of it, but its really quite simple if you have experience with advanced home projects, I just applied to be an HVAC Contractor in WI so i can pull the permits and sign the yellow cards,  crazy part is in WI there is no experience or education requirement to be a Heating contractor, Just pay the state for a credential.   

My predicament comes from the situation of living in one of if not the most overpriced real estate markets in the world right now.My goal in joining this forum and building relationships with the people on this site is to navigate this difficult real estate market in order to advance my financial situation to better the life of my family.I understand allot to starting in this game is taking action and not sitting back on the fence but I find myself in an area that doesn't allow for an ideal return on equity as far as real estate investing for flipping/renting for positive cashflow.I look forward to having productive conversations with the fine people here on biggerpockets forum in hopes of helping other people succeed while succeeding myself in the ever changing world of real estate.Cheers,Matt Bouwman
