Property management fees and other monthly income

Property management fees and other monthly income

Rental Property Investor · Auburn, ME · Member since 2015 · 36 posts · 23 votes

I am currently working on my own rental property analysis spreadsheet. I've been looking at working examples out there and it looks like the property management % does not pull from other income such as laundry, vending, parking, etc.

Is this true? It seems like a gray area to me.

It will be a percentage of whatever they collect each month typically. Hard to answer your question unless you get more specific regarding what the other income is.

    I'm not 100% sure that I understand your question. But most property management fees are considered expenses, not income.

    So let's say the rent roll for the property is $3000 and property management is taking 8%. However I'm making $50 in other income. 

    Is the 8% property management fee deducted from $3000 or $3050?

    Eric,

    I'm sure that would be specific to the property management company you choice.  I can tell you that with the bigger pockets calculators  "other income" doesn't factor into the equation when calculating property management fees based on a percentage of monthly income, and I would imagine this would be the standard in the property management world.
