Unnecessary?

Recently I've realized that most of the PM companies rent out units at or below market rents and allow for an unnecessary (IMO) turn time which of course translates to increased vacancy rates. 

Okay gotcha thanks for that rude and unnecessary comment...

My question would be, is this a good idea, or am I creating unnecessary complexity in the business structure? 

The peace of mind and seamless transactions are far more valuable than squeezing out a few extra dollars from a deal that could fall apart at any moment.Real estate isn’t just about the highest bid; it’s about the relationships and reliability that ensure deals are closed efficiently and without unnecessary stress.

If I let them run loose it would probably be 5k-10k a year in unnecessary costs.Also the work does come in spurts so it isn't consistent.

I only invite someone to apply if I think I want to rent to them, otherwise I think it is an unnecessary expense for the prospective tenant.

Gas, water, elec are unnecessary.

That’s a great approach—sometimes slow and steady is the best way to go, especially when it comes to managing costs and avoiding unnecessary debt.
