About Sub-Portfolios

Group property reports and expense booking by utilizing REI Hub's Sub-Portfolio feature.

By default, REI Hub's reporting is structured on a tiered basis, going down from Portfolio > Property > Unit. The optional 'Sub-Portfolio' feature adds an additional layer to that structure between the top-level portfolio and individual property layers.

The sub-portfolio layer makes it easy and convenient to pull reports based on groups of properties. This is helpful for investors who want to view subsets of their total portfolio or may be keeping the books for multiple legal entities inside one portfolio.

Please note: Sub-portfolios do not provide the complete separation between financials you may require in some circumstances, such as multiple partnerships with different owners.

Refer to our Portfolios and Legal Entities article for more details on whether sub-portfolios are appropriate for your situation.

After sub-portfolios have been enabled and created, you can also book expense transactions directly to the sub-portfolio. This is appropriate when expenses apply to the entire sub-portfolio in aggregate but not to an individual property (such as LLC fees). This option is also available at the overall portfolio level and is discussed more in this article.

Properties can only be in one sub-portfolio at a time. If a property has already been assigned to one sub-portfolio but is then assigned to a different sub-portfolio, it will be removed from the first.

Some key things to know:

  • Sub-portfolios enable reporting on groups of properties

  • You can also book expenses at the sub-portfolio level

  • A property can only be in one sub-portfolio at a time

  • Sub-portfolios are not a substitute for completely separated financials
