REP Helper

About the startup

REP Helper is the most complete REPS and STR compliance platform built for rental investors, making IRS Real Estate Professional Status qualification and STR material participation not just achievable, but effortless and audit-proof. While other tools treat hour logging as a form-filling exercise, REP Helper eliminates that friction entirely. Investors can capture activity through AI-powered voice logging, photo snaps, and smart descriptions so recording your time takes seconds and reflects what you actually did, reducing errors and gaps that can sink a tax position under audit. Who it's built for: REP Helper serves long-term rental (LTR) investors pursuing Real Estate Professional Status and short-term rental (STR) owners demonstrating material participation , all within a single platform designed around the real estate investor experience. Every feature, workflow, and data point exists to serve one user: the serious real estate investor who treats their portfolio like a business. What sets REP Helper apart: 🏆 The only app covering every IRS test — REP Helper is the only platform that tracks all REPS tests (the 750-hour threshold and the critical 50% majority-of-services test) alongside all three major STR material participation tests (500-hour, 100-hour/not less than others, and substantially all). Competitors cover only a subset — leaving investors exposed to audit risk on the tests they ignore. 📍 Automatic GPS-based travel time logging — REP Helper is the only platform that captures qualifying travel time automatically using GPS, so property owners accumulate hours faster and build comprehensive, defensible logs without a single manual entry. 🤖 AI-driven activity capture — Log hours via voice, image, or description. REP Helper's AI interprets and categorizes your activity automatically, making accurate recordkeeping faster and smarter than any manual entry tool. 📧 The only app with native Gmail and Google Calendar integration — REP Helper connects directly to Gmail and Google Calendar and goes further as the only platform with dedicated Gmail and Calendar add-ons, letting investors log qualifying emails from inside Gmail without ever switching apps. REP Helper's AI also automatically identifies and logs real estate emails in the background, closing the gaps auditors look for. 🤖 The only app with direct AI assistant integration — REP Helper is the only platform that connects directly with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, so investors can log activities straight from their favorite AI tools without opening the app. 🏠 STR Stay Ledger — A dedicated ledger for STR investors that auto-generates activity entries from reservation data using intelligent templates, so participation records stay current without extra effort. 📊 Performance Hub and real-time qualification dashboard — See exactly where you stand against REPS thresholds and STR material participation tests in real time, with a Performance Hub that delivers strategic insight into your portfolio's tax position and progress tracking that updates as you go. 📋 Reporting Hub with CPA-grade documentation — Generate professional, audit-ready reports to hand directly to your accountant, backed by deep analytics that surface the full picture of your real estate activity across every property. 👥 The only platform with real-time in-app collaboration — REP Helper is the only platform that offers instant, real-time messaging so investors can collaborate directly with their spouse, CPA, and team members without leaving the app. Field-based team members get a dedicated mobile app to log and manage activities on the go, keeping everyone on the same page across your entire portfolio. 🏠 Complete LTR + STR management in one platform — No more juggling separate tools. REP Helper covers the full scope of your real estate investment activity, across both rental strategies, under one roof. For real estate investors who are serious about protecting their tax position, REP Helper is the only answer. From the moment you log your first activity to the day you hand your CPA a complete, audit-ready file, every feature in REP Helper exists to make sure no qualifying hour goes uncounted, no IRS test goes untracked, and no audit catches you unprepared. This is what a real estate compliance platform looks like when it's built by investors, for investors and held to the highest standard.
