Q: WHAT IS IT GOING TO COST ME?

ANSWER:
There is a one-time $250.00 set-up fee at the time your account is opened. At that time, a ten percent (10%) charge on collected rent goes into effect as the monthly management fee. This fee is discounted to eight percent (8%) of the collected rents if your property is located in a homeowners association we manage or if you have at least three single-family properties under management with Shannon Day.
