Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated 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 the rules and regulations 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 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 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 Texas 2, LLC, Reven Housing Florida, LLC, Reven Housing Florida 2, LLC, Reven Housing Alabama, LLC and Reven Housing Tennessee, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance 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. Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to their short term nature. The Company’s short term financial instruments consist of cash, rent and other receivables, escrow deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and resident security deposits. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable, as reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to their floating market interest rate and because their security and payment terms are similar to other debt instruments currently being issued. Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties The Company accounts for its investments in single-family residential properties as asset acquisitions and records these acquisitions at their purchase price. The purchase price is allocated between land, building, improvements and existing leases based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs, which typically include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs. Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 27.5 The Company assesses its investments in single-family residential properties for impairment 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 did not recognize any impairment loss for either the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 or March 31, 2017. Cash The Company maintains its cash accounts at quality financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions typically exceed the federal insurance coverage and thus there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of available federal insurance coverage. The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance. Rent and Other Receivables Rent 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. Escrow Deposits Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash and earnest money on deposit with third parties for future property purchases. However, not all of these properties are certain to be acquired because properties may fall out of escrow through the closing process for various reasons and these purchases are contingent on the Company’s ability to secure the debt and/or equity financing required to fund the acquisition. Deferred Loan Fees Costs incurred in the placement of the Company’s notes payable 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. These deferred loan fees are offset against the notes payable in the accompanying balance sheets. 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 completed 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. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred $553,296 of deferred stock issuance costs which it anticipates will be applied against proceeds of a future capital raise to be completed during the year ending December 31, 2018. Security Deposits Security deposits represent amounts deposited by tenants at the inception of the lease. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $ 746,878 697,379 Revenue Recognition Residential properties are leased to tenants under short term rental agreements of generally one year and revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Income Taxes The Company currently plans 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, 2017 assuming it meets all qualifications allowing it to do so. 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. Should the Company not elect to be taxed as a REIT the Company will not be subject to federal income tax for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 due to significant operating losses and net operating loss carry-forwards. 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 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. 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 During January 2018, an additional 35,505 shares were issued to officers, directors and employees as part of their accrued compensation for the year ended December 31, 2017. A total of 531,864 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 earnings or decrease loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculations were 263,588 Segment Reporting The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment with activities related to leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The Company's rental properties are geographically dispersed and management evaluates operating performance at the market level and while each market and its properties are unique, the aggregate market portfolios have similar economic interests and operating performance.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES The Company currently plans to elect REIT status effective for the year ended December 31, 2017 assuming it meets all qualifications allowing it to do so. The Company would then generally not be subject to income taxes assuming it complied with the specific distribution rules applicable to REITs. The Company has also incurred current and prior year net operating losses; thus the Company is not expecting to incur current income tax expenses, and due to its currently planned election of REIT status commencing in 2017, is not expected to realize any future tax benefits from the current years; or prior years’ operating losses. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and expected carry-forwards are available to reduce taxable income. The Company records a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize some or all deferred tax assets. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017 the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $5,400,000. The federal and state tax loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032, unless previously utilized. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, use of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within a three-year period. Management believes that such an ownership change had occurred but has not yet performed a study of the limitations on the net operating losses. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal and Regulatory The Company is subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established for those claims. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, therefore, no accrual has been recorded as of the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. |

Escrow Deposits And Prepaid Expense [Policy Text Block] | Escrow Deposits Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash and earnest money on deposit with third parties for future property purchases. However, not all of these properties are certain to be acquired because properties may fall out of escrow through the closing process for various reasons and these purchases are contingent on the Company’s ability to secure the debt and/or equity financing required to fund the acquisition. |
Deferred Loan Fees, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Deferred Loan Fees Costs incurred in the placement of the Company’s notes payable 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. These deferred loan fees are offset against the notes payable in the accompanying balance sheets. |
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 completed 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. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has incurred $553,296 of deferred stock issuance costs which it anticipates will be applied against proceeds of a future capital raise to be completed during the year ending December 31, 2018. |
Security Deposits [Policy Text Block] | Security Deposits Security deposits represent amounts deposited by tenants at the inception of the lease. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $ 746,878 697,379 |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition Residential properties are leased to tenants under short term rental agreements of generally one year and revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company currently plans 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, 2017 assuming it meets all qualifications allowing it to do so. 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. Should the Company not elect to be taxed as a REIT the Company will not be subject to federal income tax for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 due to significant operating losses and net operating loss carry-forwards. 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 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. |
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 During January 2018, an additional 35,505 shares were issued to officers, directors and employees as part of their accrued compensation for the year ended December 31, 2017. A total of 531,864 |
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 earnings or decrease loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculations were 263,588 |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Segment Reporting The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment with activities related to leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The Company's rental properties are geographically dispersed and management evaluates operating performance at the market level and while each market and its properties are unique, the aggregate market portfolios have similar economic interests and operating performance. |
