Seems high. We pay 5% gross rent with first month’s rent for a unit at the start of a new lease. And then all the maintenance and upkeep fees where I’m sure they’re taking some margin

Yes. Often the rate will go down with multiple properties
I pay 6% month, only managing one unit, but yes one month rent to place new tenant. Just started so not sure if anything will be required for renewal (I know I should know, I just don't remember what we discussed)
Pretty standard

You're paying that just so someone will answer the phone, which may or may not ring. Then they charge you again when they send someone out. Find one that you pay a monthly retainer and doesn't charge for service calls. Or do fee based, you only pay if they do something that month.
Can you manage it yourself?
OP—it depends on the type of property and what the manager is doing. In mgmt. fees one size does not fit all.
That’s 10% gross rent?
Collected rent but yeah
That seems about right. But curious to know what exactly does that cover? If a light bulb needs to be changed in a common hallway, are they going to outsource that or would that be a covered service?
For a single property, yes. If you have a lot, that can get closer to 5% + 1/2 month. IMO, if they don’t charge a markup for maintenance and have reasonably priced vendors10% + 1 month is fair, but if they also charge a markup on work orders it is steep
