In VRTrust, you can set owner reserves to ensure there are always funds available to cover unexpected expenses.
Owner reserves act as a financial buffer, an amount set aside for each owner and listing to prevent negative balances and maintain proper cash coverage.
Why Use Owner Reserves
Owner reserves help you:
Ensure funds are available for unexpected expenses (e.g., maintenance, repairs)
Avoid negative balances on owner accounts
Maintain better control over payouts
How to Set Up Owner Reserves
Go to the Listing
Navigate to the Ownership section
Add or edit an ownership period
Enter a Reserve Amount (e.g., $100)
Save your changes
How Owner Reserves Appear in Statements
Once a reserve is set:
It is reflected in the Owner Statement summary box
Underneath the Ending Balance, there is a new line added for Owner Reserve
The system calculates an available balance after accounting for the reserve
This ensures your statements clearly show:
Total balance
Reserve held
Amount available for payout
Impact on Owner Payments
When creating payments:
VRTrust suggests the available balance (after reserve), not the full ending balance
This helps prevent overpaying owners
You can still override payment amounts if needed — the reserve acts as guidance, not a restriction.
Summary
Owner reserves provide a simple way to:
Protect your cash position
Ensure operational expenses are covered
Improve payout accuracy
By holding back a predefined amount, you can manage owner funds more confidently and avoid financial surprises in VRTrust.
