One month rent plus 8.5% for property management?

[Alvaro Leis]

Hello I bought a house in Atlanta and was trying to get a property management company to rent it out since I’m far from Atlanta (about 1 hour). I found a company with good reviews in google so I called them, they charge one month of rent plus 8.5% monthly, this is my first property and before getting it I watched a lot of webinars and listen to podcasts and they always suggest 10%, one monthly of rent plus 8.5% monthly is around 17% a month is that about average? This is a very small house in a C neighborhood but I don’t think that has something to do with management pricing.
