REP Helper is the most complete time-tracking and documentation platform built specifically for real estate investors pursuing Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) and Short Term Rental (STR) tax benefits. Created by an investor who lived the problem, it turns the messy, error-prone task of proving your hours into clean, audit-ready documentation, so you can claim the deductions you've earned with total confidence.
Complete coverage of every IRS test. REP Helper tracks your hours against all the tests that matter, including the 750-hour test, the more-than-50%-of-working-time test, and all three Short Term Rental material participation tests. You always know exactly where you stand against each threshold in real time, year-round, instead of scrambling to reconstruct it in April.
Effortless migration from your existing system. Already tracking hours in a spreadsheet or another time tracker? Import your historical data in minutes with flexible CSV and spreadsheet migration, so you start with a full, continuous record instead of a blank slate. Switching to REP Helper never means losing your history.
GPS-based travel time logging. Travel to and from your properties counts, and REP Helper captures it automatically. GPS-based logging records your trips and calculates qualifying travel time with precision, capturing hours most investors forget to claim.
AI-powered Gmail auto-logging. REP Helper reads the real estate activity already sitting in your inbox and intelligently surfaces loggable hours from your emails, turning everyday correspondence into documented participation. The Gmail integration is CASA Tier 2 certified, meeting rigorous third-party security standards for handling your data.
Works with the AI tools you already use. REP Helper supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for both Claude and Gemini, plus a custom GPT, so you can log hours, ask questions, and manage your records conversationally through your AI assistant of choice. Your hour tracking finally fits the way you actually work.
Booking calendar sync. Connect your booking calendar to automatically align guest stays, turnovers, and property activity with your participation log, keeping your STR records accurate without manual entry.
Bring your whole team on board. With the REP Helper Teams companion app, cleaners, contractors, property managers, and other service providers can log the hours they spend on your properties directly, giving you a complete and credible participation picture across everyone involved.
A dedicated CPA Portal. When tax season arrives, your accountant logs into a purpose-built portal and gets organized, audit-ready records, no shoebox of receipts, no last-minute reconstruction. Your CPA files confidently, and you keep documentation that holds up if the IRS ever asks.
The bottom line: REP Helper replaces guesswork and fragile spreadsheets with a professional-grade system that captures every qualifying hour, documents it the way the IRS expects, and keeps it ready the moment you need it. Stop hoping your hours will hold up, and start documenting like a professional.
