That 3% property management fee looks great on paper until the bills start rolling in.

That low monthly percentage is just the tip of the iceberg. The real costs are hiding below the surface.

Many Chicago managers quote low base rates but quietly inflate your expenses under the table: 10% to 20% markups on every maintenance invoice.

Hidden "admin" fees just for scheduling standard vendors.

Vacancy fees that force you to pay even when no rent is coming in.
When a manager makes more money from your property’s problems, your incentives are completely misaligned.
At Drexel Properties, we run it like we own it. We charge a transparent base fee with zero maintenance markups and zero vacancy fees. We only win when you win.
