Live products
Two products carrying real work today.
Both grew out of the same operating problem: the record of the work kept living in five places at once.
Servicing Loan record
- Loan
- LN-1042
- Type
- Fixed, amortizing
- Term
- 60 months
- Status
- Current
Payment timeline
- Payment received Cycle 14
- Escrow disbursed Cycle 14
- Payment received Cycle 15
- Payoff quote prepared Cycle 15
NoteHarbor
Loan and note servicing software for private lenders and mortgage note investors. Track loans, payments, escrow, payoffs and borrower communication in one place instead of across spreadsheets and email threads.
- Loans, payments and escrow in one servicing record
- Payoff figures that agree with the payment history
- Borrower communication attached to the loan
Deal Harbor
A CRM built for real estate investors and deal-driven teams. Deal Harbor organizes contacts, pipelines, documents, e-signature and follow-ups around the deal rather than around a generic sales funnel.
- Contacts, pipelines and documents around the deal
- E-signature where the paperwork already lives
- Follow-ups the system remembers for you

Also from the studio
The math, on the desk and in the field.
Loan, note, amortization and payoff calculators for the arithmetic that decides whether a deal works. Available on the web and as an iOS app for running numbers away from a desk.
- Loan and note calculators. The core figures a lender or note buyer reaches for, without opening a spreadsheet.
- Amortization schedules. See how a loan actually pays down over its term, period by period.
- Payoff math. Work a payoff figure from the same inputs as the schedule so the two agree.
In development
What the studio is working on next.
New ways to manage properties, work with clients, and bring Harbor to the desktop.
How the studio works
Four rules, and they are not negotiable.
- 01
Start from the friction
Every product here began as a problem in a real business day, not as a market slide. If nobody is losing time to it, it does not get built.
- 02
Build the smallest useful version
The first release has to be good enough to run real work through. That is the only honest test of whether the idea holds.
- 03
Run it in production, personally
These tools get used in the same lending, brokerage and investing work they were built for. The feedback loop is short because it is the same person.
- 04
Keep raising the standard
Shipping is the start of the job. Products stay in the catalog only while they keep earning their place.
The founder
Find the problem, build the solution, keep raising the standard.
MREI Tech is the software side of Cody McDonald's work. He started in real estate in 2019 with no capital, no connections and no blueprint, and has been building businesses from the ground up ever since across Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma City. The products here come straight out of that operating experience.
