Exhibit 23.1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Reven Housing REIT, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of Memphis 60 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statement.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses that is free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of Memphis 60 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
As described in Note 2, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K/A), and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Memphis 60 Homes. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
