What Is Self-Managing Really Costing You?
Most owners underestimate what they spend managing a rental themselves. This quick calculator shows you the real number — in dollars and hours.
Four Quick Questions
No login required. No spreadsheets. Just honest math.
Takes about 10 seconds. Results shown instantly below — no email required.
Your Time
0 hrs/week × $35/hr × 52 weeks. That’s time you could spend on your career, family, or finding your next investment.
Vacancy Loss
Every empty month is rent you’ll never get back. Professional marketing and screening fills units faster.
Maintenance Markup
Without contractor relationships, you’re paying retail. PMs get preferred vendor pricing — typically 15–20% less per job.
