Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”), and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results of such period. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Reven Housing REIT OP, L.P., Reven Housing GP, LLC, Reven Housing REIT TRS, LLC, Reven Housing Georgia, LLC, Reven Housing Texas, LLC, Reven Housing Florida, LLC, Reven Housing Florida 2, LLC, and Reven Housing Tennessee, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to their short term nature. The Company’s short term financial instruments consist of cash, rents and other receivables, property tax and insurance reserves, escrow deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and security deposits. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable, as reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to their floating market interest rate and due to the fact that their security and payment terms are similar to other debt instruments currently being issued. |
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. |
Property Acquisitions [Policy Text Block] | Investments in Real Estate The Company accounts for its investments in real estate as business combinations under the guidance of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 27.5 The Company assesses the impairment of investments in real estate, whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its fair value. Should impairment exist, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions typically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. |
Advances to Property Manager [Policy Text Block] | Rents and Other Receivables Rents and other receivables represent the amount of rent receivables, security deposits and net rental funds which are held by the property managers on behalf of the Company, net of any allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company has not recognized any allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. |
Tax Insurance Reserve And Holdback Funds [Policy Text Block] | Property Tax and Insurance Reserves Property tax and insurance reserves represent amounts held in accordance with the terms of the Company’s notes payable for property taxes and insurance. During the first quarter of 2015, the lender waived this requirement and the amounts previously held in escrow have been released to the Company. |
Escrow Deposits And Prepaid Expense [Policy Text Block] | Escrow Deposits and Prepaid Expenses Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash and earnest money on deposit with third parties for property purchases. |
Deferred Loan Fees, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Deferred Loan Fees Costs incurred in the placement of the Company’s debt are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loans as a component of interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred loan costs and fees totaled $ 499,768 72,162 June 30, 2015 24,984 43,110 |
Deferred Stock Issuance Costs [Policy Text Block] | Deferred Stock Issuance Costs Deferred stock issuance costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses in conjunction with the future raising of additional capital to be performed within one year. These costs are netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of the stock issuance upon closing of the respective stock placement. |
Security Deposits [Policy Text Block] | Security Deposits Security deposits represent amounts deposited by tenants at the inception of the lease. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition The Company’s single family homes are leased under short term rental agreements of generally one year with individual tenants and revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company is currently being taxed as a “C” corporation, but intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Management believes that the Company will be able to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be subject to federal income tax, provided that it qualifies as a REIT and distributions to the stockholders equal or exceed REIT taxable income. However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the Company’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Internal Revenue Code related to the percentage of income that are earned from specified sources, the percentage of assets that fall within specified categories, the diversity of capital stock ownership, and the percentage of earnings that are distributed. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and the Company may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state or local income taxes. The tax benefit of uncertain tax positions is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority, having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Incentive Compensation Plan During 2012, the Company established the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated in December 2013 (“2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan allows for the grant of options and other awards representing up to 1,650,000 Under the 2012 Plan, options may be granted at an exercise price greater than or equal to the market value at the date of the grant, and for owners of 10% or more of the voting shares, at an exercise price of not less than 110% of the market value. On April 4, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 48,750 On October 16, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 425,000 |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculations were 263,588 On November 5, 2014, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the issued common stock. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership and proportional voting power generally remained unchanged as a result of the reverse stock split. All applicable share data, per share amounts and related information in the condensed consolidated financial statements and noted thereto have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the 1-for-20 reverse stock split. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements The Company is currently evaluating all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. |
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Subsequent Events Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Company recognizes in the condensed consolidated financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after such date and before the condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events up until the date of the issuance of these financial statements. |
