How is the Alpine management fee calculated for multiple properties?

Each property is billed at the tier that matches its own monthly rent, then the monthly fees are added together. A portfolio with a $900 rental (10 percent, $90) and a $1,600 rental (7 percent, $112) would have a combined monthly management fee of $202.

Q: How much does property management cost in Kansas City with Alpine?

Alpine charges a tiered monthly management fee based on the rent collected per property: 10 percent on rent under $999 (with a $60 minimum), 8 percent on rent from $1,000 to $1,499, 7 percent on rent from $1,500 to $1,999, 6 percent on rent from $2,000 to $2,499, and 5 percent on rent of $2,500 and up. The fee is charged only on rent actually collected. For example, a $1,200 per month rental is billed at 8 percent, or $96 per month.

Q: What is the onboarding or start up cost to begin property management with Alpine?

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 per portfolio. The reserve is a refundable escrow returned when you exit management, 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.

Q: Is the Repair Reserve Fund a fee I lose?

No. The Repair Reserve Fund of $500 per door, capped at $2,000, is a refundable escrow. It covers emergency repairs and utility payments during management and is returned to you when you exit management. Only the $100 Propertyware set up fee is a true one time charge.

How Much Does Property Management Cost in Kansas City?

Alpine uses transparent, tiered pricing based on the monthly rent each property collects. The more a property earns, the lower the percentage. Management fees are charged only on rent that is actually collected, so if a tenant does not pay, you are not billed a management fee that month.

Monthly Rent	Management Fee	Example Monthly Fee
Under $999	10 percent ($60 minimum)	$900 rent = $90
$1,000 to $1,499	8 percent	$1,200 rent = $96
$1,500 to $1,999	7 percent	$1,700 rent = $119
$2,000 to $2,499	6 percent	$2,200 rent = $132
$2,500 and up	5 percent	$2,800 rent = $140

2	$100	$1,000	$1,100

Worked Examples

Here is how the math works for three common Kansas City portfolios: One $1,200 rental: The $1,200 rent falls in the 8 percent tier, so the monthly management fee is $96. The cost to begin is $100 plus a $500 reserve, for $600 total to begin. Three rentals at $1,400 each: Each $1,400 rental is billed at 8 percent, or $112 per month, so three properties total $336 per month. The cost to begin is $100 plus a $1,500 reserve, for $1,600 total. Five rentals at $1,800 each: Each $1,800 rental is billed at 7 percent, or $126 per month, so five properties total $630 per month. The cost to begin is $100 plus the $2,000 reserve cap, for $2,100 total to begin.
