Data Tracking & Evaluation for Austin Area Real Estate Investments

We’ve been managing properties in Austin, Texas, since 2007. Over this time, we’ve seen just about everything. While maintenance, good and bad tenants, legislation, and even a pandemic have happened, investing in single-family residential properties has never been so attractive. These properties provide a substantial hedge against inflation, enabling the use of leverage through mortgages and increasing returns and tax advantages for rental property owners.

You should have stated goals, timelines, and expectations to be a successful investor in all arenas. With these parameters in place, we have a benchmark to measure the financial performance for the life of your investment. We also create and deploy Key Performance Indicators to track your real estate investment data and our progress toward success.

Unfortunately, we rarely see investors enter into single-family residential investing with any of these in writing or the reports necessary to monitor their investments.

That’s where REI Monitor comes in.

Evaluate Key Performance Metrics

What Is REI Monitor?

REI Monitor is an integrated solution that collects your rental property data and provides you with the ability to evaluate your key performance indicators and track the success of your investment.

It provides the actual Return on Equity of your investment in real time. You can monitor vacancy, maintenance expenses and delinquent income. You can even create projections and set new goals by manually inputting and changing the data.

Rental Property Tracking

Why Is The Tool Important To You And The Success Of Your Real Estate Investment?

Because 87% or more of single family residential investors have only 1-3 properties and thus do not invest as a profession.

Because single family residential investors currently have almost no tools available to evaluate and track their investments.

Because solutions must be able to show numbers of varying periods of time so that investors can analyze by month, as well as trends and productivity over time.

Additionally, This Tool Will

Provide forecasting to enable better purchasing decisions.
Provide modeling to enable better risk vs. leverage decisions.
Allows recognition of the fact that individual formulas, like the use of CAP rates, don’t tell the entire story.
Uses your property data to provide ROE (return on equity) insights and trends related to maintenance expenses, vacancy and outstanding balances.
Allows you to make investment decisions based on logic and data, not emotion.
Allows you to focus on the big picture: Your financial goals and timelines.
