How the math works

Margin = retail − cost. Monthly NOI = units × uptake × margin. Value = annual / cap.

$65 − $22 = $43 margin. 220 × 85% × $43 × 12 = $96.4k/yr. At 5% cap = $1.93M value creation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does bulk work?

Property signs master service agreement with ISP for all units. ISP provides service to every unit. Property bills back through rent or as separate fee. Typical cost from ISP: $15-30/unit/mo wholesale; retail value to residents: $50-90/mo.

Uptake rates?

Mandatory bulk (included in rent): 100% effective. Opt-in bulk: 60-85% uptake. Opt-out: 85-95%. Higher uptake = better property economics. Younger demographics (students, young professionals) uptake higher than older households.

Economics?

200-unit property, $20 wholesale, $60 retail, 85% uptake: ($60 − $20) × 200 × 0.85 = $6,800/mo = $81,600/yr NOI. At 5% cap = $1.6M value created. Strong ROI for low capital investment — typically installed at property turnover.
