Property management vs managing it yourself

Self-managing is never free. Your hours, your driving, and the extra days a DIY listing sits vacant all have a cost. Put in your own numbers and compare honestly.

Vehicle cost uses the CRA rate of $0.72/km. Placement and advertising costs are excluded on both sides, you pay to find a resident either way.

Self-managing, true annual cost$4,071
KEILTY core management, annual$1,788
Your time$2,880
Driving$346
Extra vacancy$506

What the calculator can't count

2am calls and LTB filings

Emergencies, hearings, and Ontario compliance are where self-managing gets expensive in ways no spreadsheet shows.

Screening mistakes

One wrong resident can cost a year of profit. Professional screening exists because the downside is that big.

Your evenings and weekends

The hours in this calculator are real hours. Most owners undercount them until they add up a full year.

KEILTY's core management is a flat $149 + HST per unit per month, every fee published at keilty.com/pricing, and you can cancel with 30 days notice. If self-managing genuinely wins on your numbers, the calculator will tell you that too.
