Alex Goncharov Are my calculations wrong?

After several meetings with potential property managers, I am a bit discouraged to learn of the reality and make some financial calculations.I  have got an idea of the general expenses of a landlord for PM`s help:1 full month rent cost when PM to lease it3-5 weeks to rent a property (1 month's rent lost on vacation)10% of the monthly rent to "manage" it... essentially collect the rentBy these calculations, this means that 3 months have to go by before the property owner ever sees any of the rent.So let's do the math for a 1-year breakdown on an imaginary property that rents for $1000/m and would bring in $400/month in cash flow before property management.Costs:$1000 (no rent while vacant)$1000 (cost to lease)$1200 (10% management fee for 12 months)$3200+ $4,800 (Annual Cash Flow Before PM )- $ 1000 (Lost Rent during Vacantcy)- $2200 (Paid to Property Manager) $1,200 (Actual Annual Cash Flow for Landlord)... and this is true if the Property Manager never does anything except collect the rent!
