B.) Pricing

Grid has a very simple pricing structure for our full-service property management. We have three fees….a leasing fee, a monthly management fee, and a maintenance management fee. We charge no other fees.

1.)	Leasing Fee:

The Leasing Fee is a fee charged each time a new lease is signed for your property. In the case where each lease is a one year lease, you would see this charge at most once per year.

Portland Area Rate:

50-100% of the first month’s rent collected under the lease.

Our Rate:

50% of the first month’s rent collected under the lease.

Sample Calculation:

If the property is rented under a new one-year lease to a Resident paying $1,000 per month, the Leasing Fee owed to Grid would be $500. We would take this amount out of the first month’s rent actually collected from the Resident. You would not see this fee again until a new lease is signed with a new Resident.

2.)	Management Fee:

The Management Fee is charged monthly and is paid to Grid out of rents actually collected from the Resident. You would see this charge once per month.

Portland Area Rate:

8%-10% of each month’s collected rent under the lease.

Our Rate:

10% of each month’s collected rent for single family/condo properties.
9% of each month’s collected rent for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.
8% of each month’s collected rent for 5-10 units at a single location.
7% of each month’s collected rent for 11 units and up at a single location.

Sample Calculation:

If the property is a unit in a fourplex rented under a lease to a Resident paying $1,000 per month, the Management Fee owed to Grid would be $90.00. We would take this amount out of each month’s rent actually collected from the Resident. You would see this fee each month.

3.)	Maintenance Fee:

The Maintenance Fee is charged only when maintenance is actually done on your property.

Portland Area Rate:

Many management companies have in-house staff that they pay $15 to $20 per hour. They will then commonly bill out this team at $40 to $50 per hour plus materials and a materials markup. Other companies work with a mix of in-house staff and outside contractors and then they bill out administrative/management time at $50 to $75 per hour to manage maintenance.

Our Rate:

We have elected to work exclusively with 3rd party licensed and bonded contractors. This ensures that we ALWAYS have enough capacity to meet the needs of our Investor Clients, and we NEVER have to endure poor performance and quality – we have our choice of qualified contractors, and our contractors know this.

We demand and receive good, competitive pricing from highly qualified contractors, and then we bill our Investor Clients actual cost plus a 10% maintenance management fee on the actual cost.

Sample Calculation:

If we facilitate $200.00 of repairs for your property, the total cost to you is $220.00, $200.00 direct to the contractor we hired and managed, and $20.00 to Grid.
