Common questions

Straight answers on how flat-fee management compares to the percentage model.

For most Bronx landlords, yes. A manager charging 8–10% of rent collects a fee that grows every time your rent does. DoryAngel charges a flat $99/month for a single unit or $199/month for a 2–10 unit portfolio, no matter how high your rent climbs. On a 4-unit building at $2,000/unit, a 9% manager costs about $8,640/year while DoryAngel costs $2,388 — roughly $6,250 saved.
Tenant placement and screening, online rent collection, maintenance coordination, and monthly owner statements are in every plan. The Professional plan adds 24/7 emergency response, regulatory compliance monitoring, a live owner dashboard, and an annual inspection. No setup fees, no long-term contracts.
No. The flat monthly fee is the fee. Percentage managers often layer on leasing fees, renewal fees, maintenance markups, and administrative charges that can double the headline rate. DoryAngel's pricing is published up front and doesn't change as your rent rises.
It can suit a single low-rent unit where 8–10% happens to be less than a flat fee, or very hands-off owners of large luxury portfolios. For the typical Bronx 1–10 unit landlord at market rents, a flat fee is almost always the cheaper, more predictable choice.
It uses DoryAngel's published flat-fee pricing ($99/mo for one unit, $199/mo for 2–10 units) versus a percentage you choose between 6% and 12% of collected rent. Your actual quote depends on services selected and property specifics — request a free estimate for an exact figure.
