## What is REPStracker?

Are you a real estate investor or vacation rental owner bogged down with a huge tax burden?

There are two powerful tax benefits you could claim to help build your real estate empire: 
- Real Estate Professional Status (REPS)
- Short term rental (STR) tax benefit

REPStracker helps you to streamline the process of claiming REPS and STR tax benefits.

The REPStracker app is a quick and easy-to-use time tracking app, simplifying the process of logging your material participation hours. 

Features include:

- Two apps in one:
Whether you are a real estate investor for long term rentals or short term rentals, our app helps you qualify for either (or both) tax benefits

- Track your REPS/STR progress in real time:
No more guesswork or clumsy math.  Know where you stand with your material participation hours so you can make decisions accordingly... before the end of the year.

- Log time entries as you go, wherever you are:
Don't wait until you're home in front of your desktop, relying on foggy memories to document your time entries.  Do it as you go...in line at Home Depot or on hold with your mortgage broker.

- Log your hours manually or with the built-in timer function
Use the timer to improve the accuracy of your time entries, thereby strengthening your case against an IRS audit

- Record your spouse or other team members' hours in the same account 
If your spouse is contributing to your material participation hours, our algorithm will tally these hours appropriately.
If you are an STR owner and using time logs to show that your participation is more than anyone else on your team, easily log their hours so you can keep tabs.

- Evidence Integration:
Upload supporting evidence for each of your time entries, protecting you in the case of future audits.

- Store everything on the cloud:
Don't lose your data when you lose your phone.  All your time entries and supporting evidence is stored securely on the cloud.

- Download your data:
Need a hard copy backup?  Download all your time entries at the touch of a button.

### 1/5 — Outdated Build

*2026-06-30*

Although this software and application has the basic functionality to document and record, the categories needed to properly justify real estate professional status, the application itself is rather quite junkie and often startup times you need to wait 15/32 or more for the app to load which reminds me of 1996 windows with the forever death spiral. This application and software platform is in need of significant investment and updating to modern standards

**Developer response:** Very sorry to hear about the issues! We just pushed an update which should result in a more stable experience. Our team is also actively working on another update with behind-the-scenes improvements which should dramatically improve the performance of the app, as well as some new features. Thank you for your feedback!

### 2/5 — Functional, when it loads.

*2025-11-05*

Seems like this software could be quite useful and easy to track time as I kick off a STR or two. Unfortunately 60-70% of the attempts to open the app I get a blank white screen and nothing else.

### 3/5 — What should be a one time purchase…

*2025-10-02*

App is useful in documenting real estate professional status. Which should be a one time purchase unfortunately is turned into a $300 annual subscription with no perceivable functionality changes in over three years. Waiting for a competitive disruptor to enter the market. Improve your app or it’s not a subscription worthy product.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-09-14*

This app is not good because I just downloaded it even though I used to use it for years ago and I stopped. It’s very slow and when you try to upload your evidence, it says that there is a limit so you can’t upload videos and I know for a fact that if you get audited by the iRS you need to be able to show them proof and nothing is better than videos. Bad app don’t use

### 5/5 — That which is measured, get improved

*2024-01-25*

Life is, for the most part, all about rules. Depreciation rules. 1031 exchange rules. Even REPS hour rules. 

It can be rather daunting to keep contemporaneous and accurate logs throughout the year to meet your 750 hour requirement (long term rental).

Thus, we are extremely happy with this REPStracker application. It allows for seamless, real-time logging of material participation hours. It also allows immediate upload of photographic evidence (contractor photos, emails, etc). Which is great to stay organized if you have a busy day job. 

The customer service is also top notch. Every time we reached out for help , we got a timely reply and more importantly, a timely resolution. 

Highly recommend this app over the old school way of keeping excel sheets (or worse, a shoebox of random sheets of paper here and there).

### 5/5 — Thank you.

*2023-09-29*

This app has changed everything for me. I was having lots og uilt about tracking my hours correctly....and it made it so easy. I'm actually able to stick to a routine using the app. Very dependable. And when I contacted Support, they were right on it. Very impressive. 1000 stars.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend it

*2023-09-29*

We have been using this app for a year now and it’s great productivity tool. Every possible scenario is captured in the drop downs and it makes our life much easier.

### 5/5 — Super user friendly

*2023-09-29*

Heard about this app from a friend - it’s super easy to use and helps keep track of all the activities that count towards your hours! Love how it breaks down the different types of activities you can count as materialized. Saves me a ton of time!

### 5/5 — This APP is a MUST if you’re not sure you’re REPS!

*2023-09-28*

I honestly thought my hours were a slam dunk for REPS status—I mean it always “feels” like I’m doing something “real-estatey”—until I actually started tracking it on REpS Tracker.   I’m either super efficient or answering emails and making phone calls does NOT take as much time as we all imagine it does.   This is super important-especially since I also drive for instant and my “50% or more qualification” would’ve cancelled out my REPS status had it not been for the app (and allowed me to cut back on those hours). It allows me to upload time hack pictures, screen shots of receipts, etc.  love this APP-I nerd out on all the tax and real estate podcasts and share it with anyone questioning reps status. Save yourself a rude awakening when you get audited !

### 5/5 — Best app for tracking REPS

*2023-09-28*

As an STR owner, this app is gold! App-maker is responsive and great at implementing suggestions as well!
