Successful real estate investors understand that hiring a good property manager is more like an asset instead of an expense.
The good property manager helps to keep rental property occupied year after year, increase return on your investment, and free up your valuable time so you can focus on growing your real estate business.
DO WE HAVE TO MANAGE MANAGE YOUR PROPERTY AFTER PURCHASE?

HOW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES WORK
Property management companies generally structure their fees in two main ways, as a percentage of the rent collected or a flat monthly fee:
PERCENTAGE OF MONTHLY RENT
Most property management companies charge a monthly fee of between 8% – 12% of the monthly rent collected. If the rent on your home is $1,200 per month the property management fee would be $120 based on an average fee of 10%.
If a property is vacant, we as a management company generally charge a fixed fee or a fee equivalent to the anticipated monthly rent once the property is leased to a new tenant. Vacant properties sometimes require more work from the management company, such as conducting weekly inspections for potential break-ins or the presence of squatters and also some renovation before a new renter is put in.
