REPSLog vs REP Helper

Claiming REPS or unlocking the STR Loophole with the IRS could be your key!REPSLog is the hour-tracking app for real estate investors who claim Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or the short-term rental (STR) loophole. Log every hour of material participation with the date, property, category, participant and receipt attached, and hand your CPA an audit-ready PDF and CSV at tax time. iPhone and web app (app.reps-log.com), one account, synced in seconds. WHY A CONTEMPORANEOUS LOG The IRS expects a dated record of your hours kept as you go, not one rebuilt in April. • REPS: more than 750 hours and more than half of your working time in real property trades or businesses, plus material participation in your rentals (the 500-hour test). • STR loophole: material participation in your short-term rentals, typically 500+ hours, or 100+ hours and more than anyone else. REPSLog keeps a counter for each test and each property.
