My policy is that I generally do not charge a tenant unless I have sufficient, documented evidence to win my case in court.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I say if they charge me a fee for accepting my payment they sure ought to give me a record of that payment and an accurate statement of what is due and when.Anyone else have this problem, or hear about it from your renters?

What is a reasonable fee to charge?

PM company will charge around 70% first month rent + 8% of every month after that....that just wipe out my hope to get the rent cover expenses after max 35% down..Plus I also feel Sac rent are going up vs.

We charge well above market rate rents.

Brooklyn is now full of new buildings and renovated pre-war buildings in neighborhoods that have not yet caught up to the rapidly developed and expensive areas of Brooklyn, but charge very much like them.

Granted no one should be charging you origination fees upfront other than maybe a credit report.

The more you want to charge the nicer the property needs to be unless you have a high demand area. 

Why are you in Oakland meting with me, and not on Wall Street charging $25,000 an hour for your knowledge and services?"
