You own a rental. Did you sign up for a second job?
Answer for all your rentals combined, not just one property.
You know that $20 subscription you swore you canceled, then spotted on your statement months later? Owning rentals can work the same way. You're not just losing money, you're losing time. It's your time.
A hunt for a plumber here, a leaky faucet there, a call at 2 AM because the heat went out. It adds up fast, and most owners never stop to count it. So we made it easy.
In about a minute, you'll see
- How many hours your rentals took from you last year
- What those hours are worth in real dollars, month by month
- How much of that time you'd get back if we took it off your plate
The starting answers add up to about 111 hours a year, or roughly 2 hours a week. That lines up with Avail's landlord survey, where most self-managing owners reported spending 1 to 5 hours a week, and with iPropertyManagement data showing about 77% of landlord-managed rentals take under 20 hours a month. Turnover time is based on Hemlane's benchmark of 47.5 hours each time a unit gets a new tenant. Your results are estimates based on your answers, and "time you'd get back" assumes about an hour a month reading your statement.
We account for the value of your time, but this number omits the opportunity cost. You could be making more money, advance your career, spend more time with your kids and create more memories with your family.
