Is Your Maintenance Process Silently Draining Your Profits?

In real estate operations, every delay, missed job, or inefficient workflow costs money.

Whether you manage a single property or a nationwide portfolio, relying on outdated maintenance methods — or having no structured system at all — can quietly inflate operating expenses (OPEX) and slow your team down.


The True Costs of Traditional Maintenance

Many real estate teams still run maintenance through spreadsheets, WhatsApp chats, or outdated CMMS tools. They seem “cheap” at first, but the real costs stack up quickly:

Missed jobs: Delayed repairs, unhappy tenants, and reputational damage

Slow vendor coordination: Extended downtime and revenue loss

Compliance risks: Incomplete records that can lead to fines or legal exposure

Reactive fixes: Unnecessary repairs that preventive maintenance could have avoided

For some, the fallback is outsourcing to a third-party property manager — but that convenience comes at a steep price.


Self-Management vs. Third-Party Managers

Hiring a property management firm may feel like the easy solution, but most charge 6–8% of total revenue. Across a portfolio, that can double your OPEX — especially for high-yield properties.

With Fleet, self-management isn’t just possible. It’s more efficient:

  • Full operational control without losing vendor relationships

  • Centralized records for transparency and accountability

  • Lower costs without sacrificing service quality

  • Scalable systems that grow with your portfolio
