Insights & FAQs

Common questions about the partnership model, the economics, and how it works in practice.

How does the ResTech360 partnership differ from a traditional door-fee arrangement?

A door-fee carrier pays the developer a flat per-unit access fee — typically around $30 per unit per year — and retains all subscription revenue from residents. The ResTech360 partnership instead shares profit across the complete resident technology stack: bulk Internet, premium tier upsells, streaming TV, smart IoT, advertising, and managed support. The result is approximately $300 per unit per year in recurring profit-share to the developer — roughly 10x the standard door fee.

Does the developer need to put up capital?

Capital structures are negotiated per project. In most cases, the partnership absorbs the operating costs of running the stack, and capital responsibilities for low-voltage infrastructure follow the normal construction-budget process. We discuss specifics at the term-sheet phase based on the project's capital plan.

What happens to the existing carrier relationship if my property is already operating?

Operating properties typically transition during the carrier-contract renewal cycle. ResTech360 audits the existing agreements, identifies the optimal handoff path, and manages the operational transition so residents experience no service disruption. The partnership economics begin once the new structure is in place.

Is ResTech360 a carrier?

No. ResTech360 is vendor-neutral and does not own a network. We negotiate with every major Internet provider, TV bundle operator, IoT platform, and NOC partner — and replace any of them when the market gives the asset a better option. The partnership is never locked into anyone's technology roadmap.

What about FCC regulations on exclusive contracts?

The FCC prohibits exclusive service contracts for cable and broadband services in multi-dwelling-unit properties (MB Docket 07-51). The ResTech360 partnership model fully complies. We operate as an exclusive marketing partner with bulk-billing arrangements as expressly endorsed by the FCC and the National Multifamily Housing Council.

How quickly does the partnership start contributing to NOI?

Stabilized recurring profit begins as soon as residents are billed under the new structure. For new development, that is typically lease-up. For existing properties, it follows the carrier-transition window. The case study modeling on this site uses stabilized cash flows from year one for simplicity; in practice, a 12–18 month lease-up moderates the early-year cash flows.

What size projects do you work with?

ResTech360 partners on projects from approximately 100 to 2,500+ units. The economics scale linearly. Smaller projects are evaluated case by case.

Where do you operate?

South Florida: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, the Treasure Coast, and Naples. We are intentionally not a national generalist. Read more about our geographic focus.
