Frequently Asked Questions
What do common rental repairs cost?
Ballparks: faucet replacement $150–350, water heater $1,200–2,000, interior repaint $2–4/sq ft, appliance replacement $600–1,500. Add 10–20% for coordination if a manager handles it.
Should property managers mark up repairs?
A disclosed 10–20% coordination markup is standard and legitimate — you source, schedule, supervise, and warranty the vendor. Undisclosed markups are how management contracts get terminated.
When should I repair vs replace?
Apply the 50% rule: if repair costs exceed half of replacement and the item is past mid-life, replace. Repeated service calls on aging HVAC or water heaters almost always cost more than proactive replacement.
