The Math on a 10% Management Fee

Industry data from AirDNA puts full-service vacation rental management fees at 15% to 40% of booking revenue. Here's what the fee alone does to a rental that books $60,000 a year.

Management fee	Paid in fees	You keep
20%	$12,000	$48,000
15%	$9,000	$51,000
10% with Rank One	$6,000	$54,000

That's $3,000 to $6,000 more each year going to you, with full-service management included.

Example for illustration, management fee only. Your revenue depends on your property, location, and season.

  Very glad we found this place for our family trip. It was perfect for my kids to enjoy the joyful vibe and fun entertainment. The level of detail is outstanding! The bathrooms are spacious and clean. The mattresses are firm and comfortable. The coffee is premium quality. Besides, the location is so convenient to meet my friends in the city area. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Pittsburgh.

  We had a great stay at Brandon’s. My kids kept asking to go back to the Candy House when we were out. It’s really whimsical and thoughtfully decorated. The beds were super comfortable and sheets were really soft. Parking was good which in the city is always noteworthy. Instructions were very clear for check in and out. The list for check out was reasonable too which seems silly but kind of appreciated when trying to get 4 kids out. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. **For anyone looking for a place to stay next to the children’s hospital it was super close and convenient.

  I absolutely loved Brandon’s place! Looked better than the pictures. The moment we opened the door we were appalled at how stunning and eye catching it was. The details in how everything was well thought and put together we’re aesthetically pleasing. I definitely recommend this stay🩷

  Fun and beautiful space with so many cool details relating to the movie. Great space for any movie fan. The convenience of parking and walking distance to tons of coffee/breakfast places/restaurants/bars. These were all highlights for us. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

  We enjoyed our stay! The theme was spot on and very enjoyable! We did bring our two children (2 year old & 1 year old) ; which had me a nervous wreck with breakables and the stairs (no fault of owner’s). It is a beautifully themed home and was very clean. We overall had a wonderful time and experience; thank you for having us!
