Does 5G present Opportunities in MF landscape

5G in multi-family

Just wanted to get any thoughts/ experiences of Multi-family operator s/ property managers of the 5G rolling out across the USA. Think there are several opportunities for the MF landlord/ PM/ investor , including :

1. Revenue from wireless carriers for hosting 5G small cell sites

2. Value add services for your tenant ase

3. Property Management applications that can reduce costs and management , including

a. Utility management ; especially Water and Energy

b. Smart locks – re-keying / ock out / maintenance calls

c. Security cameras

With the 5G smaller footprint , don’t think you will run into the NIMBT concerns ?

Only article I have found online implies Real Estate is not prepping for the 5G rollout , at lest in the UK

Would like to hear thoughts about it ,

    @Kenneth Hynes This may be the smartest post I've seen on here recently.  Wish I had a solid answer for you, just not sure exactly how yet or any numbers to associate with it.  Perhaps an expert in the space could chime in... 

    I'll post in a FB group where a buddy is very techy, let's see what he says and I'll try to report back here.  Stand by...
