Thinking about whether to manage your own rental or hire a property manager? You’re in the right place.
At Bloc Property Management, we work with all types of landlords — from first-time investors to seasoned pros — who want to understand the true cost of self-managing versus bringing in a professional. That’s why we created our Rental Profitability Calculator.
Managing a property sounds simple… until it isn’t. Between leasing, repairs, legal issues, and tenant communication, even one rental can eat up your time. Our calculator breaks it all down in plain numbers: your rent, expenses, vacancy risk, and time — all over a realistic 3-year period. You’ll see exactly what you’re earning, what you’re spending, and how property management affects your bottom line.
No more guessing. No more relying on cap rate alone. This tool helps you compare real-life costs and ROI between managing it yourself or hiring a pro.

Even in high-cost areas like the East Bay, homes often appreciate faster than you think. While cash flow might be tight, the equity gains can be significant when done right.
Of course, if managing your rental is your full-time job, you might choose to stay hands-on. But for most busy professionals, especially high earners, the time cost alone can outweigh the savings.
Use the calculator. See the numbers. Then decide: is your time better spent managing — or profiting?
