In my limited exposure to using PMs in Memphis (I self-manage), most had a scale of upcharge depending on the cost of the service. 

I brought my nephew with me for about 12 of my trips last year and I am much more limited this year, but I have been pretty much running the shadow management(managing the PMs as my co-assistant with another gal) on about 3 of our STRs and 2 of our LTRs so he has his hands full.
