Affordable Housing Software That Keeps You Audit-Ready
Stop wrestling with software built by people who've never survived a HUD audit.
Stop struggling with compliance—get peace of mind with tools built for every HUD audit.
Last updated: 05/2026
ExactEstate was designed by affordable housing veterans, for affordable housing professionals—so every essential task takes three clicks or less.
What does the 3-click rule mean for affordable housing staff?
Every essential affordable housing task — income certifications, recertification notices, TRACS submissions, work orders, compliance reporting — takes three clicks or fewer in ExactEstate. Staff training drops from weeks to days. Property managers spend less time navigating software and more time with residents, where they actually generate revenue.
Certify Residents Faster
Mobile-friendly applications, auto-populated HUD-required fields, and built-in tracking that ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Manage compliance without chasing paperwork
Automated mass recertification notices, real-time subsidy calculations, and audit-ready documentation one click away.
Run waitlists without spreadsheets
Fair Housing-compliant preference tracking, automated applicant updates, and instant reporting for funding agencies — all inside the platform.
Works on any internet-capable device through a standard browser. No app downloads. No compatibility issues.
What compliance programs should affordable housing software support?
ExactEstate natively supports LIHTC (4% and 9% credits), HUD Section 8 (project-based and tenant-based), HUD Section 202 and 811, USDA Rural Development with MNC XML export, HOME Investment Partnerships, Tax-Exempt Bond financing, Public Housing and RAD conversions, and state Housing Finance Agency programs.
This is not a market-rate platform with compliance bolted on. Program rules are enforced automatically — not tracked on spreadsheets alongside the software. Each property gets its own compliance profile. Properties with multiple funding sources certify households under multiple programs simultaneously, with overlapping requirements layering automatically.

ExactEstate adapts to your compliance requirements. Not the other way around.
Sub-feature toggles let you enable income limit hard-stops, rent ceiling enforcement, Average Income Test validation, and 140% over-income rule automation independently. TRACS-certified with ShofCorp integration for 50059 data generation, HAP voucher processing, and rent roll sync. USDA properties get schema-validated MINC XML export.
What compliance dashboards do affordable housing operators need?
ExactEstate includes purpose-built compliance dashboards that update in real time: certification deadline tracking, AUR/NAUR over-income monitoring, Average Income Test validation, recertification queues with overdue alerts, applicable fraction calculations, HUD income limit auto-import, and TRACS submission status tracking.
Over-income monitoring
The AUR/NAUR Dashboard computes every unit’s income against 140% of AMI limits in real time. When a recertification exceeds 140%, compliance staff are notified automatically.
HUD income limit auto-import
One-click import from the HUD User API — resolves your county from ZIP code, fetches MTSP limits for all AMI tiers, and applies directly to floorplan designations.
TRACS submission tracking
ShofCorp integration with embedded HDS access, 50059 data generation, HAP voucher preview, and rent roll sync with automatic discrepancy detection.
93 reports across 23 categories — every report exports to Excel, CSV, and PDF.
How should property management software handle LIHTC and Section 8 income certifications?
ExactEstate automates income certification workflows for LIHTC and Section 8 properties. State-specific TIC forms generate automatically with 100+ fields pre-populated from household, income, asset, and property data. What used to take 45 minutes per certification now takes under 10.
State-specific forms
Built per client’s portfolio using actual state regulatory templates — currently Florida, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, and Maryland, with new states added as portfolios require.
Automated recertification
Built-in fraud prevention
PayScore automated income verification plus TenantAlert’s 9 screening service types. Income matching against declared amounts flags discrepancies before approval.
DocuSign integration
Send TIC forms for electronic signature directly from the TIC viewer. Dual-approval workflow with full audit trail.
