How the math works

Management fee = max(rate × collections, floor) + ancillary. Totals annual cost.

On a $185k/month rent roll at 3.5% + $2.5k ancillary, the all-in $8k/month ($96k/yr) is often quoted as 3.5% but lands closer to 4.3% effective. Run the math carefully when comparing manager pitches — ancillary fees often undercut the headline rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rate bands?

Multifamily: 3-5% of collected rent. Office: 2-4%. Retail: 3-5%. Industrial: 1.5-3%. Self-storage: 5-7%. Small residential: 8-12%. Scale drives rate down; smaller assets pay more to cover fixed operating costs.

Floor fee?

Small assets may have floor fee ($1,500-3,000/month minimum) to prevent fee below operating cost. Large portfolios often drop floor. Tiered rate with volume discounts also common on multi-asset mandates.
