What’s Your Hourly Rate as a Landlord?
As a landlord, you could be many things. You could either be a full-time landlord with multiple cash positive properties – no need to hold a day job – or a part-time landlord who holds a day job/business and manages their portfolio of a few rental properties.
The idea that Time is Money is something we all adhere to, and it leads us to put a monetary value to our time. Whether you own a business, draw a fixed salary or an hourly wage, deep down, we all understand that time is proportional to money. This direct proportionality is known as a personal hourly rate.
Through this post, I want you to reflect on your hourly rate for a second. The purpose here is to assist you in figuring out: How much your time is worth as a landlord?
Go through this quick (three easy steps) exercise to know what that rate is? (Don’t tell me, write it down)
Step #1:
Write down your hourly rate – a piece of cake!
My Hourly Rate is: _________
Step #2:
Great! Now let’s add context and add a time to each of the following:
| Property Tasks | Estimated Time Spent | ||
| Weekly | Monthly | Yearly | |
| Chasing Rent | |||
| Attending After-Hour Calls | |||
| Receive Rent on Their Behalf | |||
| Find Suitable Tenants | |||
| Handle Maintenance | |||
| Dealing with Disputes | |||
| Sorting Any Issues at the End of a Tenancy | |||
| Writing Ads | |||
| Doing Background Check/Credit Check | |||
| Fazekas | |||
| Fsdfsf | |||
| Estimated Total Time Spent on Your Property Investment Portfolio | |||
Step #3:
This is where things get interesting as you figure out exactly how much time you are spending on your portfolio. Once you have the time you spend as a landlord in the last column, you can multiply the total with your hourly rate and convert it into weekly, monthly, and yearly rates!
| Total time spent on your property investment portfolio (Hourly rate X estimated total time spent on your property investment portfolio) | Estimated Time Spent | ||
| Weekly | Monthly | Yearly | |
Understanding the Results
You now have a figure that tells you how much time and money you are leaving on the table by managing your portfolio. If this figure is more than $25/week, $109/month or $1300/year, then you need to hire Airpropty as your property manager in Auckland because we could help you save time, money, and energy. Period.
On the other hand, if this figure is less than our management fee, then congratulations – you are killing it as a landlord by working your magic!!
But wait! It isn’t as simple as it seems!
Being a landlord is one aspect of your life. Several other factors need to be incorporated into the equation. All the other elements – that can’t be ignored are further divided into two levels.

| Is managing your Property hindering you from spending quality time with your family? | Yes/No |
