@Ashley Piccirilli. this happens a LOT and tbh sometimes its what people are looking for!

I-if it's "big expense", I get ahead of this issue by whipping out a receipt book (you can buy one at any store like Target, Wal-Mart, Staples, Office Depot, etc) and jot down the work that was performed, materials, hours, amount of people, other expenses, etc.

We also host a monthly meetup in Durham that's a great area to meet people

A common source of Subject To deals is people in distress (foreclosure) who have a pending sale date.
