Meet Our Executive Team

Joe Rieling

Co-Founder
In 2005 my brother Ben and I launched Nomadic Real Estate and have been employing a 24/7 mentality since. I feel privileged today to see our company not only manage over 1,000 properties, but to be an industry leader within the Residential Property Management field. We were proud to recently welcome our sister, Jenna, to the team, truly embodying what it means to be family owned and operated.

Having an appetite for experience, you can find me in a restaurant, training for a marathon at the National Mall, or planning an international trip. When I’m not with my Nomadic work family, I’m watching Ben’s two sons play hockey (they’re much better than I ever was).

Thanks for reading, the Nomadic team is looking forward to doing business with you.

Ben Rieling

Co-Founder
As co-founder of Nomadic Real Estate I take immense pleasure in seeing our business continue to grow and thrive in the local DC market. My brother Joe and I have grown Nomadic from the ground-up and our passion and desire to excel has never been higher.

Enjoying the growth of Nomadic Real Estate has paralleled the pride and fulfillment I’ve experienced in being a father of two happy, healthy and active boys. I love spending my free time coaching their flag football team and of course, helping to develop their ice hockey skills (they are better than Joe ever was). Being a parent and an entrepreneur have their similarities in that the end goal is the success of something or someone outside of yourself.

This is the type of mentality we hope to bring to you with our service at Nomadic. We look forward to working with you.

President
I started working at Nomadic back in 2016 as a Leasing Agent, and have worked my way through every department until settling in as President in 2023. My core focus is on optimizing our business processes to improve the experience for our clients, tenants, and staff. Drawing on my background in tech, finance, and believe it or not, a brief foray into the diamond industry, I aim to make Nomadic a better company every day by automating where we can, so we can be human where it counts the most.

I come from a long family history of small business owners, and got a taste of the startup world while I was in school at GWU, so marrying the white-glove service approach of a small business with the intensity and efficiency of a startup mentality is a genuine passion of mine, and I've loved seeing the results play out for Nomadic's clients.

I'd love the opportunity to work with you and introduce you to our amazing team and industry-leading client experience.

Enhanced Reporting

Your portal includes a selection of extremely useful reports. Reports are available in the “Reports” section, and are distinct from the financial statements. Unlike financial statements which are static records, Reports are dynamic real-time records that will update with current data every time you view them. 

Scroll down to learn more about Reports:

Navigate to the "Reports" module in your portal:

Owner Portal Reports
  • Keep in mind, these reports are dynamic records. They will refresh to display current information every time you view them. 

Enhanced Rent Roll Report:

Enhanced Rent Roll Report
  • The Enhanced Rent Roll Report will show the rent amount, last payment date, move-in date, lease expiration date, and security deposit amount for each of your tenants. 
  • It will also show a portfolio summary with occupancy percentage, vacancy loss, and more!

Unit Comparison Report:

Unit Comparison Report
  • If you own multiple units (or buildings) with Nomadic, you’ll get access to the Unit Comparison Report. 
  • This report enables you to quickly compare financial performance between your units at a glance without toggling between individual reports. 

Income Statement Month-Over-Month:

Income Statement by Month Report
  • The Income Statement Detail – Monthly Report serves as a month-over-month record of portfolio performance. You’ll see itemized income and expense categories and can track monthly. This report will update with fresh data every time you view it. 

Financial Statements

Financial statements will be published to your portal on a monthly basis. The statements are found in your Documents library, and provide a historical record of all financial performance. The statements serve as a snapshot of financial performance over a given period, and are static documents (unlike Reports, the statements do not update/change in real-time). 

Scroll down for more info about the Financial Statements in your Documents library:

The Documents area contains monthly financial statements:

Owner Portal Documents
  • The statements in the Documents are are static documents. They are posted to the portal once a month to serve as a historical record of financial performance.

Understanding the Ledger

Your portal includes a ledger with all transactions. The ledger is populated with data in real-time as transactions flow through our accounting software. Much of this information is also available in the Reports area, as well as the Statements in your Documents library, but the ledger is the most comprehensive resource for diving into the details. 

Please scroll through the sections below to get a better understanding of how to interpret the ledger. 

By default, transactions are sorted chronologically:

Owner Ledger Dates
  • The date reflected in the lefthand column is the actual transaction date, not the “bill date”. This is the date the transaction was actually processed. 

If you have multiple properties with Nomadic, you'll see the address for each transaction in the "Location" column:

Ledger Property Column
  • You can filter the ledger to look at just one property, all properties, or specific sets of properties. 
  • If you only have one property with us, you’ll just see the ledger for that property. 

The Description column displays the transaction type:

Owner Ledger Description Column
  • BILL: this is an expense transaction, such as for repair costs or management fees.
  • CHARGE: this is a transaction  billed to the tenant, most typically a rent payment. 
  • NACHA EXPORT: this is a credit we processed to your distribution account. This type of transaction is how you get paid! 

The Amount column shows the dollar value of each transaction:

Owner Ledger Amount Column
  • Positive Amounts: if an amount is positive, it reflects a transaction that is payable to you. Typically, this will be a rent payment that we collected from your tenants. On occasion, a positive number could also signify a journal entry or credit adjustment. 
  • Negative Amounts:  if an amount is negative, this is a transaction that is either payable to Nomadic or is an amount that has already been paid to you. Typically this will be for repair costs or management/leasing fees. Owner draws (net distributions into your checking/savings account) also reflect as negative amounts, since they have already been paid to you. 

The Account Balance column shows a sum of positive/negative transactions at a given point in time:

Owner Ledger Account Balance Column
  • Account Balance should always equal zero after a net distribution has been processed. When the balance is zero, this means that all expenses have been paid and you’ve received the remainder as net operating income, leaving a balance of zero (meaning: no one is due any money, as all funds have been distributed appropriately). 

Navigating the Propertyware Owner Portal

How do net distributions work?

Net distributions keep your accounting clean and simple. Each month we’ll collect rent from the tenants, deduct any repair expenses for the previous month and any management/leasing fees for the current month, and credit the remaining net operating income to your account. 

Net Distribution

You’ll receive a statement via email each time a net distribution is processed, and can view all transaction details in your Propertyware owner portal.
