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

    • Esempio Risolto

    $2,200/month rent, 8% management fee, 50% leasing fee, 0.5 turnovers per year, 10% maintenance markup on $2,400 annual maintenance, 1 unit.

    1. Monthly management fee: $2,200 x 8% = $176
    2. Annual management: $176 x 12 = $2,112
    3. Leasing fee per turnover: $2,200 x 50% = $1,100
    4. Annual leasing: $1,100 x 0.5 = $550
    5. Maintenance markup: $2,400 x 10% = $240
    6. Total annual PM cost: $2,112 + $550 + $240 = $2,902
    7. PM cost as % of revenue: $2,902 / $26,400 = 11.0%
