@Gp G. going to guess your current PMC is charging you a flat fee for finding a tenant.If so, who's going to pay an agent that brings a tenant via the MLS?

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

If you were only going to net 10k and the fees male you a lose then it was never a good deal.If you keep project costs less than 72.5% of the ARV then no lending can screw you. 

@Charlie Loomis use Metron meters but do not use their installers.

I have several multi families on the west coast  ( one that I actually manage my self in California) and it’s just one maintenance reserve fee for all doors , and a % of the total rent usually ( 8%-10%).  

Add 2 points and a processing fee for the broker an underwriting fee for the lender and various and sundry closing costs and you're golden.

In my office - applicants cover the fee entirely.  

Over the years, I managed 3 offices and a 12-person team, and I got tired of bloated CRMs with monthly fees.
