Why We Built a Property Management Cost Calculator

The most common question we get from Kansas City investors is simple. How much will this cost me? For years the honest answer required a phone call, because every portfolio is a little different. We decided to fix that. Now you can get a transparent estimate in about ten seconds, with no sales pitch and no email gate. We believe pricing should be easy to find and easy to understand, so we put the whole thing in your hands.

Most property management companies hide their pricing behind a contact form. We do the opposite. The full fee structure is published, the calculator runs the math instantly, and the numbers you see are the numbers we charge.

How Does the Calculator Work?

You enter two things: the number of rental properties you own and the average monthly rent for each. The calculator then does three things. It finds your management fee tier based on the rent, it multiplies that across your properties to estimate your monthly fee, and it calculates your one time cost to begin services. The result appears instantly, along with a link to get started when you are ready.

Open the Kansas City property management cost calculator and try it with your own numbers.

What Does Alpine Charge to Manage a Kansas City Rental?

Our management fee is tiered by the monthly rent each property collects. The more a property earns, the lower the percentage. Fees are charged only on rent actually collected, so a missed rent month means no management fee that month.

Monthly Rent	Management Fee
Under $999	10 percent ($60 minimum)
$1,000 to $1,499	8 percent
$1,500 to $1,999	7 percent
$2,000 to $2,499	6 percent
$2,500 and up	5 percent

For example, a $1,200 per month rental falls in the 8 percent tier, so the monthly management fee is $96. A $1,800 rental falls in the 7 percent tier, or $126 per month.

What Is the Cost to Begin?

The one time cost to begin services is a $100 set up fee per portfolio to configure your account in Propertyware, plus a Repair Reserve Fund of $500 per door, capped at $2,000. The reserve is a refundable escrow that covers emergency repairs during management and is returned to you when you exit. It is not a fee. So the total to begin is $600 for one door, $1,100 for two, $1,600 for three, and a maximum of $2,100 for four or more doors.
