Are Property Managers Overpaid or Just Underappreciated?

Property management might be one of the most thankless jobs in real estate. Between tenant issues, maintenance calls, and late-night emergencies, it can feel nonstop. But let’s be honest—some PMs charge 8–10% and barely do the minimum.

So what’s the truth?
Are property managers underpaid for the stress they handle, or are some just collecting easy fees without doing much?

Curious to hear from others in the field—what do think?

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].

I am a 42 year old and keep getting told I need to move to less risky investments (bonds) as I age and near retirement (say at 62). I understand the situation but think it is a little too early. My logic is that even in retirement, I will need to grow my money and assuming I live till 82, it is too early to back off riskier options (stocks - not speculation). Maybe at 55 I can see that but 42 is too early. What do (similar aged) folks on this board think?

Why do people accrue prepaid expenses?

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

Any Sales Leaders doing any of the following with their sales teams?

Hi, has anyone worked at Freddie mac? Particularly the multifamily investments division?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
