Often, yes — not always on the headline rate, but on the total. Our management fee is capped at 10% and most owners pay less, with the rate dropping as your portfolio grows. Because we're a licensed Tennessee contractor with our own in-house maintenance crews, you also get the best available pricing on repairs, and under our lease, tenants are responsible for any legal fees arising from a breach. Every fee is disclosed up front — no hidden charges.
Three things: a capped, published fee; full lease enforcement (tenants are responsible for legal fees on a breach); and the fact that we're a licensed Tennessee brokerage, so the same team can help you buy the right property and then manage it.
Yes. Because we're both broker and manager, the rent projection we underwrite a purchase with is the exact standard we manage to afterward — no hand-off, no finger-pointing.
