Rental owners: do you care about property management fees?

[Jordan Meyer]

There are some new discount property management companies that charge 5-6% (instead of the more typical 9% in Utah or California) and have data showing that they keep vacancy and rents the same as the 9% alternatives.

I'm wondering why they haven't picked up more traction. For example, if you're interested in selling your apartment, you could switch to a discount property manager for a year (going from, say 9% to 6% of rents) and increase the value of your property by 3%, netting yourself thousands on the sale.

So, apartment owners, do you care about property management fees?
