American Housing Income Trust Announces Implementation of Proprietary Cloud-Based End-to-End Property Management Automation System

PHOENIX, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --American Housing Income Trust, Inc.® ("AHIT" or the "Company") AHIT, an internally managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates single-family rental properties, today announced the implementation of a Cloud-Based End-to-End Property Management Automation System that is expected to reduce the cost of managing the properties in its portfolio. 

The proprietary system, named AHIT Advantage, will track all aspects of the property life-cycle.  This includes property acquisition, tenant relations, rent payments and processing, maintenance requests, and property sales. 

The Company will integrate this fully electronic and paperless system into its business operations and believes the new software enhancement will streamline its property management processes, allowing for greater efficiency and increased production to support the Company's continued growth.  Through the first half of 2016, the Company grew rental revenues by over 70%, largely due to acquisitions of single-family homes and a high rental occupancy rate. 

Management Commentary
James Stevens, the newly appointed President & CEO of American Housing Income Trust, stated, "Converting our operations to a fully electronic system is an important step in supporting our growth plans.  We expect that this digital changeover will ultimately lower the Company's ratio of expenses.  We continue to progress towards achieving REIT status and returning a dividend to our shareholders, and the implementation of AHIT Advantage will allow us to cost-effectively manage a greater number of properties.  AHIT prides itself on being a low-cost, focused property manager, and has maintained a cost advantage over many competitors based in the Southwestern region of the United States.   We believe this transition will serve to strengthen our cost advantage."
