## Property Management Fee Breakdown
Property management companies charge various fees beyond the headline management percentage. Understanding the full cost helps you decide whether to self-manage or hire a professional.
### Common Fee Types
- **Monthly management fee**: 6-12% of collected rent (8-10% is typical for single-family)
- **Leasing fee**: 50-100% of one month's rent for finding and placing a new tenant
- **Maintenance markup**: 10-20% added to contractor invoices
- **Lease renewal fee**: $100-$300 per renewal (not included in all contracts)
- **Vacancy fee**: Some managers charge a reduced fee during vacancy
### Self-Management vs. Professional
- Self-management saves 8-12% of revenue but requires your time
- Professional management makes sense for out-of-state investors or portfolios of 5+ units
- A good PM should reduce vacancy, handle maintenance efficiently, and handle legal compliance
### Negotiating PM Fees
- Larger portfolios get better rates (5-7% for 10+ units)
- Negotiate leasing fees and maintenance markup terms
- Ensure the contract specifies what triggers additional fees
