Rentals with Google Fiber

Hello, I'm preparing to be a new landlord in the KC Metro. The property we are currently purchasing has the option of having google fiber hooked up for it. Have any other SFH landlords hooked up google fiber for their homes. I don't mind paying the construction fee, but who is responsible for Google's equipment and what is downloaded while on the network?

@Andrew Cross nope, I don't have Google Fiber - but I would jump at the chance. Many, maybe most, landlords would steer clear of providing any out of the box perks. I'm so grateful for that because it limits my competition and allow me to charge higher than prevailing market rents.

I love the fact the most want to be as passive as possible. I understand that. However there is a strong and growing market for housing as a SERVICE over a mere rental. The Millinials are coming.

Internet - fast internet - will become like indoor toilets. You're going to have to have it.

Be an early or late adopter - it all depends on your business plan and clientele.

Best to you.
