Greenville property management pricing, side by side.
Typical local pricing reflects common Upstate SC practice and is illustrative, not a quote from any specific company.
| Fee | Typical Greenville manager | Plenteous |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly management | 8–12% of collected rent | $115 flat, per door |
| Tenant placement | ~1 month's rent | $500 flat |
| Lease renewal | $300–$500 | $250 flat |
| Vacancy fee | Sometimes charged monthly | $0 |
| Tech / portal, inspections, setup | Often billed separately | $0 |
| Maintenance | Vendor invoice + 10–20% markup | In-house crew at $75/hr for repairs and $52/hr for turns (rates include our margin); outside vendors at invoice + 10%. |
What that means in dollars, year one.
Assumes one tenant placement and one lease renewal in the first year. Maintenance excluded on both sides.
| Monthly rent | 10% manager, year 1 | Plenteous, year 1 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,200 | $3,040 | $2,130 | $910 less |
| $1,800 | $4,360 | $2,130 | $2,230 less |
| $2,500 | $5,900 | $2,130 | $3,770 less |
Percentage-manager numbers reflect typical Greenville pricing (10% of rent + one month leasing fee + $400 renewal) and are illustrative, not a quote from any specific competitor. Excludes maintenance markups, which often add another 10–20% on every vendor invoice for percentage managers.
Why we built it this way.
We are owners.
200+ doors managed, 144 of them our own, on the same operating system you'd get. We feel every decision in our own portfolio first.
Quick response time.
Tenants and owners both get answers fast. Vacancies and small problems compound when nobody picks up the phone.
Aggressive, effective marketing.
Vacancy is the largest hidden cost in this business. We market hard so units don't sit, because a month empty dwarfs any management fee.
Long-term or short-term — whichever wins.
We run both. We'll model long-term and short-term ROI for your property and recommend the higher-return path, not the one that pays us more.
In-house repairs.
Our in-house crew handles about 95% of work orders. Labor is billed at published rates, $75/hour for repairs and $52/hour for turns, and those rates include our operating margin. Parts are itemized on every invoice; how they're billed depends on the job, and the invoice shows it. Outside specialists are billed at their invoice plus a 10% coordination fee.
Respect.
Every home is treated like our grandma lives there. That's the whole standard, and it makes the rest of the work easier.
About maintenance: yes, we mark up.
We're not going to tell you we charge "real cost" on repairs — nobody runs an in-house repair team at cost. We mark our work up like any service line. The reason the owner still wins is structural: there's no outside vendor in the middle to pay retail to.
A recent example: an HVAC repair ran $435 all-in through our team versus a $760 outside quote for the same scope. Both numbers include markup — ours just starts lower because we're doing the work, not paying someone else to do it and adding to their invoice.
When in-house isn't the cheaper option — specialized trades, after-hours emergencies, anything outside our wheelhouse — we say so and use a vetted third party. You'll see the line item either way.
Cost comparison

Move the sliders to match your rent, the percentage rate you've been quoted, expected rent growth, and typical vacancy. Both models use the same placement and renewal assumptions, so the difference is real.

Five-year estimated difference.
| Year | Monthly rent | Percentage manager | Plenteous |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,800/mo | $2,970 | $1,823 |
| 2 | $1,854/mo | $2,331 | $1,573 |
| 3 | $1,910/mo | $2,395 | $1,573 |
| 4 | $1,967/mo | $2,461 | $1,573 |
| 5 | $2,026/mo | $2,529 | $1,573 |
| Total | $12,686 | $8,113 |
Both models stop charging when your property is empty. The difference is what happens when your rent goes up — a percentage manager charges more for identical work every year. Ours doesn't.
Published hourly rates on 95% of repairs.
We keep most maintenance in-house. The invoice below shows the same HVAC scope — capacitor, two filters, and a thermostat — priced by an outside vendor and by our own team.

Our in-house crew handles about 95% of work orders. Labor is billed at published rates, $75/hour for repairs and $52/hour for turns, and those rates include our operating margin. Parts are itemized on every invoice; how they're billed depends on the job, and the invoice shows it. Outside specialists are billed at their invoice plus a 10% coordination fee.
When a job requires an outside specialist, we add 10% to the vendor invoice. That covers sourcing the right contractor, scheduling around the tenant, supervising the work, and standing behind the warranty if something fails.
Our own properties go in the same queue as yours. Repairs don't jump the line because we own the house.
Three questions worth asking every manager you interview
Percentage managers are aligned with you on vacancy but not on rent growth. Flat-fee managers are usually the reverse. These are our answers to all three.
| Question | Percentage managers | Other flat-fee managers | Plenteous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earns while your property is empty? | No | Yes | No |
| Fee grows when your rent grows? | Yes | No | No |
| Earns more when repairs cost more? | Ask them | Ask them | Published hourly rates |

What we put in writing
Month-to-month, 30 days' notice. Leave any time. A $300 early exit fee applies only if you cancel in your first 12 months; it covers the setup we do up front. After that, leaving is free.
- 01
No rent, no fee.
Your management fee applies only to months your rent is collected. Vacant month, or a month the tenant doesn't pay — you owe us nothing.
Terms: Management fee is charged only for months in which rent is collected. Applies to vacancy and non-payment alike. Placement and leasing fees per the published schedule.
- 02
Our tenant, our problem.
If a tenant we placed has to be evicted, we run the eviction at no charge to you. We handle evictions in-house, so there's no legal bill in the ordinary case. Inherited a tenant from a previous manager or from self-managing? Flat $699.
Terms: Covers filing fees, court costs, and our coordination for tenants placed by Plenteous under our standard screening criteria. We handle evictions in-house and do not use outside counsel in the ordinary course. In the rare event a contested matter requires an attorney, those fees are the owner's, and we'll tell you before anything is incurred.
- 03
We replace them free.
If a tenant we placed is evicted or leaves without paying the lease-break fee, we find your next tenant with no placement fee.
Terms: Applies to tenants placed by Plenteous within 12 months of placement. Free placement applies to the same property.
