What’s included

Three tools. One complete evaluation process.

Most operators go into vendor conversations without a structured process. The kit gives you one — built specifically for properties under 500 units.

Why this exists

Vendors have done this hundreds of times.
You probably haven’t.

Managed Wi-Fi contracts are long, complicated, and written to protect the vendor. Here’s what operators consistently get wrong:

⚠ No uptime SLA in writing The sales rep promises 99.9% uptime. The contract says “best effort.” When the network is down for 48 hours, you have no contractual remedy.

⚠ Uncapped price escalations A 7-year contract with a CPI-linked escalation clause sounds reasonable until inflation runs hot and your per-unit cost has increased 30% by year five.

⚠ Auto-renewal with no notice Miss the 90-day notice window and you’re locked in for another three years. This happens constantly and it’s almost always buried in the contract.

⚠ No RFP process — just a demo Most operators evaluate one or two vendors, watch a demo, and make a decision. Without a structured RFP, you can’t compare vendors or use competitive pressure to improve terms.

Who it’s for

Built for operators without a procurement department.

✓

Property managers Running an RFP for the first time and need a professional process without starting from scratch.

✓

Asset managers Evaluating a Wi-Fi contract before acquisition, renewal, or capital planning and want to know what to look for.

✓

Owner-operators Managing 1–10 properties without dedicated IT staff and need a structured, repeatable evaluation process.

✓

IT directors Supporting a portfolio of independent communities and want consistent documentation across every vendor evaluation.

Multifamily Technology Consultant · ResiQ Consulting · ResiQ

I’ve been doing IT leadership in multifamily real estate for over a decade — including roles at MAA and Fogelman Properties. I’ve managed Wi-Fi deployments, negotiated bulk internet contracts, and helped operators evaluate vendors across hundreds of units. This kit is what I wish I’d had when I was doing this work the first time. It’s built for independent operators, not enterprise REITs — because the guidance that exists for your segment is either vendor-produced or written for someone ten times your size.

A $49 kit that could save you
thousands on a bad contract.

One missed auto-renewal clause, one uncapped escalation, one missing SLA — any of these can cost you far more than the price of this kit over a 5-year contract term.
