That is not an alignment of goals.The $100 minimum means their base fee on your $1,200 is actually 8.33%.If your scheduled gross rent is $14,400 ($600/month x 2 x 12)Minimum PM fee -$1200 ($100 x 12)Re-lease inherited tenant -$395One-month vacancy -$100 PM fee (and -$600 from your gross revenue)Fee to lease new tenant -$395 (you didn't mention this, but I imagine they would charge at least as much as the re-lease)So right there you've got $2090 in PM fees on $13,800 gross = 15%Now over time those lease-up and vacancy management fees will even out as tenants stay longer than 1 year, but if you just wrote in 8% for management, you should almost 2x that to get to reality, at least in year 1.

It's not that easy to accomplish and usually involves advanced strategies such as bonus depreciation mentioned by @Logan Allec and asset segregation.The good part is that investor-friendly lenders will add back depreciation, not counting it against your income for underwriting purposes.
