Count your hours before you count the fee
Most self-manage-versus-hire comparisons only weigh the management fee against rent. The expensive side is usually your own time — and the vacancy days, turnover costs and late-payment cycles that a slower process produces. The calculator prices all of it.
What to do with your result
- Fill in your actual hours from the last three months, not a typical month.
- Price your time at what you would charge, or what you would pay someone else to do it.
- Compare total cost, not fee — including vacancy days and turnover.
