It is probably about time that you consider some property management software options such as our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award winner, LandlordMAX, and our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award winner, Quicken Rental Property Manager. You want to make sure that the property manager you select is using a quality property/tenant management tool and that they can provide samples of output reports from this system during the interview. Your 100% correct, it would be near impossible to survive on management fees alone, but that is not their sole income source. Both products can track mortgage amortization and keep best property management track of multiple bank and credit card accounts.

I’ve researched PM companies around the country and it’s incredible how they can charge just 4% management fee, but then nickel and dime the owner for tenant screening, advertising, maintenance mark-ups, and much more. Not to hijack the replies with an argument, but don’t PM’s get money from lease up fees, commissions and other income.

In the past several weeks I have found myself in the position of providing guidance to several clients who were having tenant issues. It is one of their least fun things to do.
