Add value to your Apt./Muti with Cable and TV? Lets talk!
I am NOT trying to sell anything, just using this community as advise to see if this is a good business plan.
So a quick background on me, Before I read Rich Dad Poor Dad I was a cable guy and still am while I am house-hacking. I wanted to ask some apartment owners if they see value in adding bulk cable tv and internet services to an entire complex. In my current W2 job I have seen that apartment complexes can have negative experiences with cable companies, whether its dishes mounted all over the place or cable line wrapped around buildings. I would bet there are apartment complexes that need a solution.
What is the solution? Find a telecommunications company that will sign a contract to provide services to the apartment complex for a bulk rate per unit. That contract could keep accountability on the telecom to limit them throwing dishes up everywhere and cable line. It would also allow the apartment complex to PROFIT off of these services. Lets say this company charges $10-40 unit/per month for cable and internet to the apartment complex, while the complex includes these services in the tenants rent for $40-80/month. This would allow the complex to have an additional stream on income. I have a great background in these networks and am wondering if it is something that there is a large market for in our community.
What are you thoughts? What would you like to see better from you cable providers? Anything helps!
