I wouldnt pay as much for work under these circumstances as there is a bigger risk of losing it.

Sorry just mho.

The problem you have is one the contract can be lost, management companies always look for better deals.

The other problem is will the management company accept the new guy, I do a lot of apartments myself and they are very specific that only me or my staff clean them, I cannot sub contract or sell the work on.

If they agree the next problem is the price, nobody is going to pay 5 times the rate if it's going to take them a couple of years just to get there money back.

The best solution would be to sub contract it out and take a small cut.
