RentReel is bookkeeping built for cohosts and boutique STR managers. Attach properties to owners, track your management fee, generate owner statements — without the QuickBooks tax and without the March-madness spreadsheet reconciliation.
COHOST99 — price stays $99 forever even when we bump to $149 in Aug/Sep once owner share links + 1099-MISC pipeline ship.Stessa can't do owner statements. Baselane doesn't know what a management fee is. QuickBooks costs $90/mo before you even open it. RentReel is purpose-built for the person managing STR doors for other owners.
Attach each property to an owner with an ownership % (usually 100). Each owner is a first-class object with name, email, and phone — not a comment field on a spreadsheet.
Set your management fee % (15%, 20%, whatever) per property. RentReel automatically deducts it from gross rent before calculating owner net. Your fee is your income; theirs is theirs. Clean separation.
Per-owner monthly rundown: gross rent → platform fees → your management fee → operating expenses → owner net. Live in the app today. PDF export + email delivery shipping next.
Same CPA-share tech, filtered per owner. Each owner sees only their own property's numbers — never yours or any other owner's. Coming this week.
If you paid an owner $600+ in rent for the year, IRS requires a 1099-MISC. RentReel tracks it automatically and generates the form come January. Post-launch feature.
Invite your VA, bookkeeper, or CPA into your workspace with role-based access. Bookkeeper can edit; CPA can view. Coming this week.
Cohosts we've talked to are running one of two systems. Both fall apart at 5 properties. Here's why.
Airbnb dashboard for payouts + Google Sheets for owner-share math + Venmo for owner distributions + QuickBooks or a shoebox for expenses.
One workspace. Every Airbnb payout auto-imports, gets split by owner, has your management fee deducted, and generates the owner's monthly statement. Done.
You spend 30-60 min per owner per month rebuilding their statement from scratch in a spreadsheet. 10 owners = 5-10 hours of your time. Every month. Forever.
Owner statements auto-generate as data flows in. Send a share link or export a PDF in 30 seconds. 10 owners = 5 minutes total.
You realize in March that you owe every owner a 1099-MISC. You realize your own Schedule C management-fee income wasn't tracked separately. You pay your CPA $1,500-3,000 to clean it up.
Owner 1099s auto-track. Your management fee income has its own bucket. Schedule E for your owners + Schedule C for your management business, both pre-built. Hand it to your CPA in an hour.
The first 3 cohorts to sign up lock in $99/mo forever. Owner statements + management fee tracker ship today. Owner share links + 1099-MISC pipeline ship in Aug/Sep — when they land, public price rises to $149/mo. Founding-3 stays $99 forever.
Every other tool taxes you as you grow. RentReel Business is a flat rate — manage 3 doors or 30, same price. Managing more than 30 doors? Enterprise pricing coming Sep, includes multi-workspace and API access.
You're not Vacasa. You don't have a 20-person CS team. You manage a handful of doors for family, friends, or investor clients — and the bookkeeping side is eating your weekends. If any of these describe you, RentReel Business is the fix:
