Monthly property management fees in the Austin metro run 8% to 10% of rent collected, and the leasing fee for placing a new tenant runs 50% to 100% of one month’s rent. On a $2,000 unit, that is roughly $2,500 to $4,500 per year in total cost in a year with one turnover, before maintenance markups, renewal fees, or any of the smaller line items that quietly inflate a management agreement.
