They managed 70 units for me and agreed to 7.5%.. 10% is like for like 1-5 units.. you need to allow them to manage more units to lower the cost..It's harder for them to scam you and run away if they are using a management platform like buildium and appfolio.. unless they do some manual overrides but at end of day it come down to credibility.. is it worth it for them to scam you and lose license and business?
