If you own rental property in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, or the surrounding Hudson Valley, one of the first questions you probably have when considering professional property management is:
How much does a property manager cost?
The answer depends heavily on what you actually need.
Some property owners want someone to handle everything from leasing and maintenance to rent collection and tenant communication. Others already have a good maintenance team and simply need professional accounting, rent collection, bill payment, and reporting.
That is why Integrity Property Management offers different levels of service rather than forcing every property owner into the same management package.
Our current published pricing ranges from approximately 1.5%–3.5% of rent roll for accounting and management tools to approximately 5%–10% for full-service property management, depending on the property and services required. Leasing fees and vendor costs are passed through at cost with no markup.
Property Management Pricing at a Glance
Service Level | Typical Published Range | Best For |
Accounting & Management Tools | 1.5%–3.5% of rent roll | Owners who want to self-manage but need professional infrastructure |
Full-Service Property Management | 5%–10% of rent roll | Owners who want day-to-day management handled |
Leasing & Vendor Costs | At cost / no markup | Owners needing leasing or maintenance services |
The actual cost can vary depending on the number of properties, property type, services required, and complexity of the portfolio.
1. Accounting & Management Tools: For Owners Who Still Want Control
Not every property owner needs a traditional full-service property manager.
If you are comfortable dealing with your tenants and making decisions about your properties but don't want to spend your evenings reconciling bank accounts, paying bills, tracking expenses, collecting rent, and preparing financial reports, an accounting-focused relationship may make more sense.
Integrity's accounting and management-tools program is typically 1.5%–3.5% of rent roll.
Depending on the package, the system can include:
Rent collection
Automatic late-fee posting
Lease management
Rent increases
Lease renewals
Direct deposits
Accounts payable and vendor bill pay
Owner statements
Rent-roll reporting
Delinquency reporting
Detailed accounting with attached invoices
Owner document storage
Tenant portal
Lease and maintenance tracking
This option is particularly useful for real estate investors who want professional accounting infrastructure without completely handing over control of their properties.
2. Full-Service Property Management
For owners who don't want to deal with the day-to-day responsibilities of being a landlord, Integrity offers full-service property management.
The current published range is typically 5%–10% of rent roll.
Full-service management can include:
Rental analysis and pricing
Property marketing
Tenant screening
Lease preparation
Move-in and move-out inspections
Rent collection
Accounting and bill payment
Maintenance coordination
Periodic property inspections
Lease renewals
Rent increases
Landlord/tenant communication
Eviction coordination
24/7 emergency support
Vendor coordination
Financial reporting
The goal isn't simply to collect rent.
The goal is to operate the property as an investment.
3. You Don't Have to Give Up Control
One of the biggest concerns property owners have when hiring a management company is losing control of their investment.
Integrity operates as an owner-directed property management company.
That means the owner remains involved in important decisions. For example, maintenance requests are evaluated and estimates are presented to the owner for approval before work is performed, subject to the applicable emergency procedures. Owners can also work with vendors of their choice.
This approach can be particularly valuable for investors who want professional management without feeling like they have handed their property to someone else.
What Types of Properties Does Integrity Manage?
Integrity Property Management works with a range of property types, including:
Single-family rental properties
Multi-family properties
Apartments
Townhomes
Commercial properties
Industrial properties
That makes the company a potential fit for everyone from an individual landlord with one rental property to an investor with a larger portfolio.
What Happens When You Hire a Property Manager?
A good property management company should have a defined onboarding process.
At Integrity, onboarding includes collecting ownership and property information, reviewing financial and tenant information, inspecting the property, establishing vendors where needed, and preparing the property for ongoing management.
For an already-rented property, the transition can include reviewing:
Existing leases
Tenant information
Accounts receivable
Accounts payable
Delinquencies
Vendor information
Insurance
Mortgage information
Property records
The objective is to understand the property before taking over its ongoing management.
What Does Property Management Actually Save You?
The obvious answer is time.
But for many investors, the bigger benefit is consistency.
A professional property manager can create systems for:
Rent collection
Financial reporting
Maintenance
Vendor coordination
Tenant communication
Lease administration
Inspections
Documentation
Compliance
Emergency response
Instead of the owner becoming the central point of contact for every problem, the management company becomes the operating system behind the investment.
Is Property Management Worth the Cost?
That depends on the owner.
If you have one property, enjoy managing tenants, have plenty of free time, and are comfortable handling accounting and maintenance coordination, full-service management may not make financial sense.
But if you have multiple properties, live outside the area, have a demanding career, are growing a portfolio, or simply don't want your investment to become a second job, professional management can make a significant difference.
The right question isn't simply:
"What percentage does a property manager charge?"
A better question is:
"What am I actually getting for that percentage?"
A 5% management fee from one company may provide a very different level of service than a 5% fee from another company.
That's why owners should compare the services, transparency, reporting, maintenance practices, communication, and contract terms—not just the percentage.
