REEP is vertically integrated with our own in-house management company.
REEP Residential
REEP Residential started in 2017 with the goal of further improving the REEP property strategy through the benefits of vertical integration. Our Vertical Integration extends well beyond just managing a property. Our management team is involved every step of the way. Beginning prior to even being under contract and throughout the time we own the property, we work together through every step of the business plan. Through this strategy, we are able to quickly execute the business plan and improve the property for our investors and our tenants from day one.
