Whether you’re managing a community or developing multifamily housing, your telecom agreements shape property value, revenue, and resident satisfaction.
1️⃣ Bulk Agreements:
One master contract covers all units.
Benefits ✔️ : Lower per-unit rates, predictable costs, and “included” services that can attract residents.
Considerations 🤔 : Long-term commitments (5–10 years), limited resident choice, and the property shoulders financial risk if units are vacant.
👨🏫 Telecom Tip: Review termination clauses, service guarantees, and how the deal fits long-term goals.
2️⃣ Retail Agreements:
Residents choose their own providers, often with revenue share or door fees for the property.
Benefits ✔️: Flexibility for residents, potential revenue for the property, and less direct service management.
Considerations 🤔: Long-term contracts (5–10 years) with providers, higher rates for residents, and inconsistent service quality.
👨🏫 Telecom Tip: Structure the infrastructure for multiple providers and negotiate terms that align with your financial goals.
If you’re reviewing your telecom strategy, make sure you’re making the smartest decision for long-term value and resident satisfaction.
