Scale Efficiently

The Margin Squeeze

Property Management is a low-margin game if you rely on human labor for everything. To make a 10% fee profitable, you need scale. But scale brings chaos.

This calculator shows your top-line revenue. The challenge is keeping more of it. If you spend $100/door on labor to earn $160/door, your margin is thin. Automation widens the gap.

Scaling Doors, Not Headcount

The old rule was "1 Property Manager per 100 doors." With AI, that ratio shifts to 1 PM per 300+ doors. Automation handles the repetitive tasks (rent reminders, maintenance dispatch, leasing inquiries), allowing your expensive humans to manage 3x the volume.

Competing on Service, Not Price

Don't drop your fee to 6% to compete. Offer better service at 10%. Use an AI Receptionist to guarantee 24/7 live answering for owners and tenants. That is a premium value prop that justifies a premium fee.
