The Ultimate REPS & STR Platform · Why It Matters

750 hours alonewon't qualify you.

REPS also requires more than half of your working time in real estate, and STR investors face their own material participation tests. Most trackers stop at 750. REP Helper tracks every test that decides your deduction.

Your path

Two paths to the deduction.We track both: REPS & STR

Whether you qualify as a real estate professional or use the short-term rental route, REP Helper knows the tests for your path.

Real Estate Professional Status

REPS: 750 hours plus the 50% rule

For investors who work in real estate. Qualify, and your rental losses can offset W-2 and business income.

750 hminimum per year>50%of your working time
Short-term rentals

STR: no REPS required

Average stay of 7 days or less, plus material participation, and losses can count without REPS.

≤ 7 daysaverage stay
Filing jointly

Your spouse's hours count toward material participation.

Automatic GPS travel time

Drive between your rentals. The trip logs itself.

The mobile app puts a geofence around each property and works in the background, so it knows when you arrive and leave and logs the trip with route, miles and time. You can also tap start and stop, or log a drive by hand.
