THE REAL COST OF SELF-MANAGING YOUR RENTAL
What Most Landlords Never Stop to Calculate
Vacancy Loss
Average 1–2 months rent lost per tenant turnover — that's $1,500–$3,000 disappearing every cycle.
Legal Liability
One lease mistake or habitability violation can cost $5,000–$20,000 in legal fees and settlements.
Maintenance Markup
Unvetted contractors charge 20–40% above market rates when you call them directly.
Eviction Costs
Pennsylvania eviction averages $3,500 in combined time, court, and legal fees.
Time Investment
Most FRBO landlords spend 8–12 hours per month per property — often unpaid and unrecognized.
Missed Equity
Without an exit strategy, your equity sits idle while the market moves around you.
"The average Penn Hills investor who works with Keith Hill nets 12–18% more at closing than those who go it alone."
RENT vs. SELL DECISION FRAMEWORK
5 Questions Every Landlord Must Answer

2. How does your cap rate compare to today's sale price multiple in Penn Hills?
3. What is the opportunity cost of equity sitting inside the property?
4. Can a 1031 Exchange let you defer taxes and upgrade to a larger investment?
5. Is your current tenant situation sustainable long-term?
