What Is Flat Fee
Property Management?
One fixed monthly fee. No percentage of your rent. Your costs stay flat — your profit grows.
Landlords using Flat Fee Landlord save $1,200–$3,000 per year vs. percentage-based managers — with better screening, stronger guarantees, and local teams in 9 markets.
Save $1,200–$3,000/year
vs. percentage-based property managers
Percentage-Based Managers Make More When Your Rent Goes Up. You Don't.
Most property management companies charge 8–10% of your monthly rent. On a $3,000/month rental, that's $240–$300 every month going to your manager — and the fee climbs every time your rent increases.
Their incentive is backwards: they earn more when your costs are higher, but their workload doesn't change. You pay more for the same service.
Flat fee property management fixes this. Your fee stays fixed. Every rent increase goes straight to your bottom line.

Flat Fee Property Management — Your Questions Answered
Flat fee property management means you pay a fixed dollar amount each month for management services — instead of a percentage of your rental income. Whether your property rents for $2,000 or $5,000, your fee stays the same. No surprises, no creep.
At Flat Fee Landlord, management packages start at $139/month. The exact price depends on the plan you choose and whether you bundle placement + management. Your personalized quote shows the exact number in under 60 seconds.
Traditional managers charge 8–10% of your monthly rent. On a $3,000/month property, that is $240–$300/month — and it goes up every time your rent increases. With flat fee, your management cost stays locked. As your rent grows, you keep the difference.
Some do. We don't. Flat Fee Landlord runs the same 10-point screening on every applicant, conducts in-person inspections, and uses local teams in every market — not call centers or virtual-only processes. Our <1% eviction rate across 2,000+ placements is the proof.

That works. Tenant placement is available as a standalone service. Many landlords start there and add management later. You still get the full 10-point screening and our tenant warranty.
