How much do management companies typically charge?

I'm considering getting a property manager, but only if there's a flat-rate option that is affordable.

My question is around the Vacancy and Management dollars next to the pie chart.  

My commercial property management job includes reading some of the terrific marketing reports put out by your company. 

Hi all, My husband and I have been managing our properties since 1997 in North central Mass and southern Vermont, None of our friends share this passion and I can't wait to chat with some of you who have been or wish to do the same thing.

Otherwise, I will continue to network on BP.As a quick background of my wife and I -- My wife is an orthopedic nurse practitioner and I am an land manager for an oil & gas company, each with 10 years of experience.  

I have factored in 5% for vacancy, capex, and maintenace. 8% for property management.

Found myself managing 3 projects at same time, with no economies of scale.

SUMMARY:  Buy bargain priced homes in depressed or value buy areas (high swing markets); sell when the market has hit a higher price & sell / refi. 

They manage the draws on construction funds too.
