Most landlords start by comparing the management percentage. That is sensible, but it is not the whole cost conversation.
Landlords often consider self-management to save on fees. Once we map out leasing, inspections, maintenance coordination, tenant communication and administration, the decision becomes less about the cheapest percentage and more about time, responsiveness and risk.
Professional management does not remove every cost. Some services may attract separate charges, so ask for a clear schedule covering:
• Leasing and advertising
• Routine and final inspections
• Maintenance coordination
• Lease renewals and administration
• After-hours or excluded services
The right comparison is total cost against total service, including the work you no longer need to do yourself.
