Where these ranges come from, and where they stop

Every range in the calculator comes from published rental data for Bangor as of mid 2026. The trackers do not agree with each other, which is normal, so each range spans what they actually reported rather than picking the flattering end:

UnitPublished rangeWhat the trackers reported
Studio$900 to $1,100The thinnest data on this table. Much of what gets listed is furnished and aimed at travel clinicians, which pulls the number up
1 bedroom$1,150 to $1,400About $1,150 in one tracker for June 2026 and closer to $1,355 in another for the same period
2 bedroom$1,550 to $1,750Around $1,650 in June 2026. The most common unit in the market and the best supported number here
3 bedroom$1,800 to $1,950$1,800 in one tracker for June 2026, $1,946 in another for May 2026
4 bedroom or single familyNo published figureWe could not find a reliable average for this segment. The calculator asks you for the rent instead of showing you a number we made up

One bedroom rents in Bangor rose roughly 9.5% year over year and two bedrooms about 7%, according to published market trackers. That is the backdrop against which a management fee should be judged: rents have been moving, and a unit priced off last year's number is leaving money behind every month.

This is an estimate, not an appraisal. A real number for your unit comes from someone walking it and pulling comparable listings on your street. What this tool is good for is deciding whether the conversation is worth having at all.

The vacancy math nobody puts on a proposal

Owners compare management companies on the percentage. The percentage is rarely what decides whether you come out ahead.

Bangor's rental vacancy rate runs around 7%. On a $1,600 two bedroom, one empty week costs you about $369. Four empty weeks cost you $1,600, which is very close to the entire annual management fee at 10%. That means a company that consistently fills your unit three or four weeks faster than you would has paid for itself before you count anything else it does.

It also means the opposite is true. A cheap manager who leaves the unit empty an extra month is the most expensive one you can hire, no matter what the percentage says.
