The Rise of Virtual Property Management
Managing properties has always required a delicate balance—keeping tenants satisfied, staying on top of maintenance requests, ensuring financial accuracy, and maintaining compliance. Traditionally, property managers or management firms handled these responsibilities onsite. But today, with the rise of offshore staffing and remote business models, virtual property managers have emerged as a powerful solution for property owners, real estate investors, and management groups.
At its core, a virtual property manager offers the same set of services as a traditional property manager but works remotely, supported by technology and specialized processes. The difference lies in efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings.
For companies facing hiring freezes, resource limitations, or the need to scale operations quickly, Connext offers virtual property management services that allow businesses to grow without increasing official headcount.
Why Virtual Property Managers Make Sense Today
Real estate continues to evolve, and property management has become more demanding. With increased tenant expectations, stricter compliance requirements, and tighter margins, businesses need smarter solutions.
Connext Virtual Property Manager: Service Packages & Pricing
Industry Benchmarks
One of the most common questions from property owners is simple: “How much does a virtual property manager cost?”
When it comes to costs, property management is usually charged as a percentage of the monthly rent. Industry benchmarks put this between 8% and 12% of rent collected (Mynd, TenantCloud). For example, if a rental unit earns $1,500 a month, the property management fee would be about $120–$180 per month.
Other common charges include:
- Tenant placement fees: Typically 50% to 100% of one month’s rent, so around $750–$1,500 for a $1,500/month unit (TenantCloud).
- Extras: Setup fees, lease renewals, maintenance markups, inspections, or eviction processing—all of which can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars per year (GoodLife).
