How the math works
Cost per unit = total staffing ÷ units.
Use staffing ratios more than dollar-per-unit when benchmarking. Wages vary 40-60% by metro; ratios (units per FTE, units per leasing agent, units per maintenance tech) translate across markets and reveal operational efficiency without regional distortion.
How to Use
- Enter total units.
- Enter manager cost (loaded salary + benefits).
- Enter leasing cost.
- Enter maintenance cost.
- Enter admin cost.
- Read cost per unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Staffing ratios?
1 full-time staff per 50-80 MF units is typical (manager + maintenance base). Add 1 leasing per 150 units. Large assets (300+ units) add assistant manager at 200-unit threshold. Class A properties staff tighter than Class B.
Cost per door benchmarks?
MF garden 150-250 units: $900-1,400 per unit. Mid-rise 300-500 units: $1,100-1,700. High-rise luxury: $1,800-2,800. Rural or small properties often higher per-unit due to fixed-cost minimum.
Offsite vs onsite?
Portfolio-level regional managers and accounting allocated per unit. Including fees to PM company (3-5% of revenue) often adds $300-600/unit. Separate 'controllable' onsite staff from 'fixed' corporate overhead for clean benchmark.
