San Diego Property Management FAQs
-
How Much Does Property Management Cost in San Diego??
Most San Diego property management companies charge 8–10% of collected monthly rent, often plus leasing fees equal to 50–100% of one month’s rent. On a $3,000 rental, a 10% fee equals $300 per month ($3,600 per year). Realty Management Group charges a flat $199 per month, regardless of rent amount, eliminating percentage-based fee escalation as rents increase. -
What Is the Average Property Management Fee in San Diego?
The average property management fee in San Diego ranges from 8% to 10% of rent, with additional leasing, renewal, and maintenance coordination fees depending on the company. Percentage-based pricing increases as rents rise. A fixed monthly fee provides predictable cost control and simplifies long-term rental cash flow forecasting. -
How Does Flat-Fee Property Management Compare to 10% Management?
At $3,000 per month rent, a 10% management fee equals $300 per month. Over 12 months, that totals $3,600. A flat $199 fee totals $2,388 annually — a $1,212 annual difference at that rent level. As rent increases, percentage-based fees rise proportionally, while flat-fee pricing remains fixed. -
Is $199 Flat-Fee Property Management Really Full Service?
Yes. Full-service property management includes marketing, tenant screening, leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, financial reporting, and compliance oversight. The difference is pricing structure — not service scope. Flat-fee management replaces variable rent-based pricing with a consistent monthly operating cost. -
Is Property Management Regulated in California?
Yes. Property management in California must be conducted under a California Department of Real Estate broker license and comply with statewide regulations including AB 1482 rent cap provisions, AB 628 appliance habitability standards, fair housing laws, and local ordinances such as the San Diego Tenant Protection Ordinance. -
How Do You Protect Rental Owners From Legal Risk?
Risk protection includes compliant lease documentation, proper notice handling, rent cap monitoring under AB 1482, appliance and habitability oversight under AB 628, fair housing–compliant screening procedures, and accurate trust accounting. Legal exposure in rental housing is procedural. Proper documentation and oversight reduce avoidable liability. -
How Quickly Can You Rent My Property in San Diego?
Well-priced and professionally marketed properties in San Diego commonly lease within 7–21 days depending on neighborhood, condition, and seasonality. Overpricing or deferred maintenance extends vacancy and reduces net operating income. Accurate rent positioning is the primary driver of leasing speed. -
How do you manage late rent payments?
We send reminders and apply late fees according to the lease terms. If necessary, we take legal action in full compliance with California law. -
What Types of Properties Do You Manage?
Realty Management Group manages single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small multifamily properties throughout San Diego County. Suitability depends on property condition, compliance requirements, and rental objectives. -
What Areas of San Diego County Do You Serve?
Service areas include San Diego, Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon, Oceanside, Mission Valley, and surrounding communities throughout San Diego County. Local ordinance awareness varies by city, making geographic familiarity operationally significant. -
How Do I Switch to a Flat-Fee Property Manager in San Diego?
Switching typically requires reviewing your current agreement’s termination clause, providing proper notice, and transferring tenant and accounting records. Realty Management Group coordinates onboarding and compliance review to maintain rent collection continuity and minimize tenant disruption during transition.
