Multi Family Property Management in OKC & Edmond
If you’ve owned investment property before and managed it on your own, you understand how time-consuming it can be. There may even come a point where you wonder if it’s even worth doing the job on your own if it’s taking away your ability to focus on other things.
Usually, as properties increase in complexity, such as the number of properties to manage or the number of tenants filling vacancies, hiring a property management agency becomes more realistic and efficient for most investors who can’t find the time to handle it their own anymore.
Basically, you need some help. And when it comes to managing properties like multi-family units, Melrose Realty is your full-service multi-family property management solution.

- Townhomes
- Garden apartments

- High-rise apartment buildings
Melrose Realty has a lot of experience managing hundreds of multi-family properties throughout Oklahoma, including many multi-family properties like those listed above.
Managing Multi-Family Properties Needs Experts
If you’ve managed a single rental property before, you know how much time you put into managing that property. This includes all of the stuff that goes into managing a property. Stuff like:
- Advertising
- Showing
- Screening Tenants
- Lease Contracts
- Collecting Rent
- Taking Care of Maintenance
- Taking Care of Emergencies
- Adjusting Rent between Vacancies
- Handling Evictions if Necessary
That’s only the baseline for a single property. If you have multiple single-resident properties or multi-family properties, you can take the above and multiply it by the number of units you’re looking to rent. Whatever time you spent on that property in the past goes up by a similar factor.
When you consider it that way, just the sheer number of tenants, you’ll have to devote your time to makes hiring a property management agency that specializes in multi-family properties the best decision you can make.
If you’ve never managed property and a multi-family unit is your first, hiring an agency like Melrose Realty for your property management needs is your second-best decision after investing.
Cost Of Hiring Multifamily Property Managers in OKC & Edmond
The listed costs below can be found on their own page on this website. However, it’s also useful to reproduce them here, so you have a quick reference to compare our rental property costs when considering hiring us for a multi-family unit.
The cost of hiring us as your property manager is proportional to the number of properties you want us to manage. The cost percentages are the sum of the value of rent after payment. So:
- Properties 1 – 9 cost 10%
- Properties 10 – 19 cost 9%
- Properties 20 – 29 cost 8%:
- Properties 30 – 39 cost 7%
- Properties 40 – 100 cost 6%
For example, 4 properties at $1000 rent each will carry a $400 fee to manage all four.
The more properties you ask us to manage will reduce the cost percentage.
When considering hiring us to manage a multi-family property, you must remember the cost for each unit you collect rent on. So, if you have a duplex on a single lot, you will have to pay for the management of each unit, not a single fee, just because the duplex is on a single lot.
The good thing to remember is because you’re paying for the management of each unit, each unit will receive its own individual attention and not be lumped in and forgotten about. This is especially important when it comes to properties like multi-story apartment buildings.
Managing Your Rent and Your Records for Multi-family Properties
When investors start considering hiring a property management agency, they’re usually thinking about the following:
- Filling vacancies
- Maintaining the property
- Collecting rent
After all, as a landlord, those are the three big things you’re usually concerned about. What a lot of investors don’t think deeply about, at first, is how the rent’s collected, the records that need to be maintained, and how your rents compare to other similar properties in your area.
