Kansas City Property Management Cost Calculator

Alpine charges a tiered monthly management fee based on the rent collected: 10 percent when rent is under $999 with a $60 minimum, 8 percent from $1,000 to $1,499, 7 percent from $1,500 to $1,999, 6 percent from $2,000 to $2,499, and 5 percent at $2,500 and up. Higher rent rentals pay a lower percentage. To begin there is a one time $100 setup fee and a refundable $500 per door repair reserve capped at $2,000. A lease up fee of 50 percent of one month rent, with a $500 minimum, applies when we place a new tenant. There are no junk fees.

The management fee is a percentage of the monthly rent collected, and the percentage drops as rent rises. If your Kansas City rental collects $1,200 per month you pay 8 percent, which is $96 per month per door. If it collects $2,600 you pay 5 percent. The calculator on this page applies the correct tier to each door in your portfolio and totals the monthly fee for you instantly.

One tiered monthly fee covers ongoing management: rent collection, maintenance coordination, resident communication, accounting, monthly owner statements, inspections, lease enforcement, and compliance. Placing a new tenant carries a separate lease up fee, and approved repairs are paid from your refundable repair reserve. Everything is itemized on your monthly statement.

Yes. The $500 per door repair reserve is your money. We hold it to cover routine maintenance and repairs, it is capped at $2,000 total per portfolio, and you get back whatever is not spent. For one property the total to get started is $600, which is the $100 one time setup fee plus one $500 refundable reserve. The setup fee is not refundable, but the reserve is. The calculator shows them separately so you always know which part comes back to you.

The lease up fee is 50 percent of one month rent with a $500 minimum, charged when we market, show, screen, and place a new resident. When we renew a good tenant instead of re leasing the home, the fee is only 25 percent of one month rent. The calculator lets you toggle new placement on or off so your first year estimate reflects your situation.

No. Alpine does not charge junk fees. There are no hidden markups on maintenance, no surprise administrative charges, and nothing buried in the contract. The costs shown by this calculator, the tiered management fee, the $100 setup fee, the refundable reserve, and the lease up fee, are the costs. Every charge is disclosed up front and itemized on your monthly statement.

The calculator uses Alpine real published pricing, so the numbers are a close estimate of what you would pay. Your exact rate is confirmed in your free rental analysis, where we review your property and recommend the right rent. For out of state and remote owners this is a fast way to size up returns before you ever talk to us.
