How this calculator works
Collected rent is scheduled rent minus vacancy. A percentage management fee applies to collected rent; a flat fee is per unit per month.
Leasing fees are a percentage of one month's rent for each new lease; renewal fees and maintenance markup are added on top.
Effective fee = total PM cost ÷ collected rent. Use it to compare managers with different fee structures.
