Compare Boise Property Management Companies Point by Point
Most owners comparing property management companies in Boise get a percentage quote and a vague list of services, then discover the real cost later, one line item at a time. This page gives you a 20 point checklist instead. Every point is something AIM Property Management includes, and every point is a question worth asking any company currently managing your rental.
Print it, pull up your current management agreement, and check the boxes honestly. If the second column comes up short, we should talk.

The Fee Math Most Owners Never Run
A management quote of 8 to 10 percent rarely stays 8 to 10 percent. Add a leasing commission on every placement, an advertising charge on every vacancy, a renewal fee on every lease, and a setup fee to start, and the effective rate on your rental climbs well past the headline number.
AIM’s structure is a flat 7 percent of collected rent plus a flat placement fee, $275 for a single family home or $100 per unit for fourplexes and up, with all advertising included. See the complete breakdown on our property management fees page.
Switching Property Managers Is Simpler Than It Sounds
Owners often stay with an underperforming management company because switching feels disruptive. In practice, once you give notice under your current agreement, AIM coordinates the transition: leases, security deposits, keys, and tenant communication move over without your tenants losing service. Your residents get access to a modern portal for payments and maintenance requests, and you get the reporting listed above from month one.
There is no account setup fee to move a property or a portfolio to AIM, and as a NARPM member firm operating from Meridian, we manage rentals across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, and Garden City.
Questions Owners Ask When Comparing
How do I switch property management companies in Boise?
Review the termination terms in your current management agreement and give notice as required. From there, AIM coordinates the handoff of leases, deposits, keys, and tenant contact so your rental never goes unmanaged during the transition.
Will switching disturb my current tenants?
No. Existing leases stay in force when management changes. Tenants are introduced to AIM, set up on the resident portal for payments and maintenance requests, and daily life in the home continues uninterrupted.
What does it cost to move my rental to AIM?
There is no account setup fee. Management is the flat 7 percent of collected rent, and no management fee is charged until your property is rented. Request a free proposal and we will price your exact property or portfolio before you commit to anything.
