What PM Fees for holding keys & turnover? (Self-managed & remote)
I am a remote and self-managed owner. Insanity, I know. But there is an onsite contact person who I'd like to have manage the keys and showings while I continue to manage the listings, tenant vetting, maintenance (through my contacts), and payments. As yet, I do not see this situation addressed on the boards, but please direct me to the post if you know of one-- Suggestions on what should the fee structure should be for my key-holder? Thank you for your thoughts. (Please I'd like to address the question itself and not directions to get a full-service property manager. That is something I'm already considering.)

@R.G. Pham it sounds like you just need a leasing agent.
Typically one month's rent for leasing is what people in my market charge. We also have a startup in my area called Ikos that does this.
As far as managing keys, just move everything over to keypad locks. We've been doing that and it's pretty sweet since all you need to do is change the code between tenants.
