New Tool to Track Your REPS Hours the Right Way


I’ve been getting the same question over and over lately:

“How do I actually track my REPS hours?”

If you’re trying to qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS), you know the threshold:750 hours and more time in real estate than anything else.

But the real challenge is proving it.

Most investors don’t document their time in a way that holds up under IRS scrutiny. And spreadsheets get messy fast. So I built a FREE tool you can use that's simple and effective.

The Maven REPS Tracker allow you to:

  • Log your hours by activity, date, and property
  • Link to evidence (like calendar invites or emails)
  • See how many hours you’ve logged and how many are left
  • Track multiple properties and time categories in one place
  • Export your data in an Excel file to send to your CPA

Whether you’re aiming to hit REPS this year or just want cleaner documentation, this tool helps you stay audit-ready without the spreadsheet headache.


If you’re serious about hitting 750 hours, the REPS Tracker will help you stay organized and audit-ready.

But if you’re still wrapping your head around what REPS actually is, then I've got you covered there too.

I broke it all down in an article on our blog:

  • What counts as a “real estate activity”
  • Who qualifies (and who doesn’t)
  • Common IRS pitfalls and how to avoid them
  • How REPS can unlock massive tax savings, especially when combined with cost segregation

Thank you for reading. Please reach out and let me know what resonated with you. I read every email!

Cheers,

I recently got back from the Limitless Real Estate Conference in Dallas. This conference wasn’t about sitting in a room taking notes all day. For me, it was about shaking hands, having real conversations, and getting more “touch points” with people in 48 hours than I’d normally get in a year. This was my first time sponsoring an event and going in I wasn't so sure about it. And while I was exhausted by the time I was on the plane back to Michigan, I knew we made the right decision to invest...

Big news out of D.C. over the holiday weekend: The President signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill" on July 4th, a bill that brings back 100% bonus depreciation. I’m excited about what this means for real estate investors: The ability to fully deduct short-life assets (like flooring, appliances, and site improvements) in year one, instead of spreading those deductions over decades. More cash in your pocket today to reinvest, de-risk, or take on new deals. A renewed opportunity to leverage cost...
