The back office for creative-finance operators

Founding cohort A HANDFUL AT A TIME

You've got a few rentals and you're moving into subject-to, wraps, and notes — where one missed step on someone else's mortgage is a mistake you can't afford. REI Boss runs the back end of those deals so they don't go sideways: title coordination, insurance, utilities, filing, closing prep, dispo. Then continuous monitoring on everything you hold — notes, rentals, lease renewals, insurance lapses, late payers.

A transaction coordinator stops at the closing table. A servicer only moves the money. A coach only teaches. Run by hand, the back end eats 20–25 hours a week, and most operators still only run about 20 of the 80+ items that matter. We run all of them — contract through close and every month after — in 1–2 hours of your time. One source of truth for every deal you've done, every deal in motion, and every deal coming in. Take a week off; nothing falls through.

[01]What you get back

Send a deal. Get this back in 48 hours.

A green / yellow / red verdict from Leah or Elizabeth on the operator's actual deal — is it a good deal, and are we a fit. We say no to red-flag deals. That's the point of the read.

Overall YELLOWWorkable — two things to fix before you sign
Due-on-sale Green · Low Risk LOW. Large national servicer (Freedom), standard pattern.
Spread Amber · Thin Underlying PITI $1,180 vs. target wrap $1,420 = $240/mo before vacancy. Tighter than we like.
Title Red · Needs work Open mechanic's lien on the prelim. Clears before close, not after.
Insurance Green · Clean Investor policy bindable, no flags.
Exit Amber · Slow pool Wrap-sellable, but budget 60–90 days to place a buyer in this market.
The read

Good bones, two real risks. The lien is the gate — don't sign until title confirms a clear path. Spread's thin enough that one missed payment eats your month, so we'd screen the buyer hard. Clear those and it runs. Want us to take it from contract?

Before

Stacks of paperwork, disorganized Google Docs, software that feels like Windows 98, title companies that wait till the last minute — and the whole back end running out of your head.

After

One place to track every deal coming in, store every document, see where each deal sits, and monitor your whole portfolio — in a modern interface, not a spreadsheet graveyard.

Your live portfolio dashboard — stood up within days of your first deal. Sample, representative · client details redacted.

[03]Pricing

Priced for the work. Not for the time.

Item Rate What it covers
Onboarding $1,500one-time System build-out, portfolio intake, workflow config. No one onboards without a deal in flow.

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.
