Find deals. Close deals. We run the back end.
REI Boss runs the back end of your creative-finance real estate deals. Title coordination, insurance, utilities, filing, closing prep, basic dispo. Then continuous portfolio monitoring on everything you hold — notes, rentals, lease renewals, insurance lapses, late payers.
Built on the systems Leah Melton ran in her own real estate business before this existed. We work with investors who've already burned through VAs, TCs, and admins.
A new category. Here's what that means.
We're not a transaction coordinator. Not a virtual assistant. Not a coach. We're back-end operations as a service — a category that didn't exist for creative-finance real estate until we built it. Watch Leah explain in 2:34.
What we run. And what we won't.
What we do
- Title coordination — the wedge skill
- Insurance setup and renewal tracking
- Utility transfers and filing memos
- Closing prep and document chase
- Basic dispo support — signs, listings, showings
- Portfolio monitoring on notes, rentals, leases
- Alert flags on lapses, late payers, expirations
- Weekly check-in. Shared channel for updates.
What we don't do
- Coaching, mentorship, or deal structuring
- Note origination or lien recording
- Escrow handling
- Front-yard-sign call answering
- Pre-screening every inbound buyer
- Full property management on rentals
- Hourly billing or per-task à-la-carte
- Anything we'd execute knowing it'll fail
Priced for the work. Not for the time.

Built in her own business first.
Leah built REI Boss in her own real estate business before it was called REI Boss.
She'd been running wraps, sub-twos, lease options, notes, and rentals across multiple markets — and somewhere around deal 50 realized the operational backend was eating more of her time than the deal-making itself. So she built the systems. ClickUp templates for every deal type. Title coordination workflows. Portfolio monitoring routines. The kind of operating system most investors keep meaning to build and never do.
The systems worked. Other investors in her network started asking if they could use them. A few asked if Leah's team could just run them. That's when REI Boss became a product.
Leah runs REI Boss with co-founder Mike Bledsoe and an operations team led by Elizabeth Reyes.

Palette
Cool, restrained, engineered. Forest green primary (more saturated than old-money green — closer to live-data green). A separate saturated green reserved for "ops live" status indicators. Amber and brick for deal-intake yellow/red flags. No decorative use of color anywhere else.
UI elements
Sharp corners (2–6px max radius). No gradients. No shadows except very subtle elevation. The institutional traffic-light tags use the brand's deal-intake palette.
