A bathroom accessible only through one bedroom limits usability for groups.Another factor that often gets overlooked: booking filters.Many guests filter by:“2+ bathrooms”“3+ bathrooms”If your property misses that filter threshold, you’re invisible to a portion of demand regardless of how large the home is.This doesn’t mean overbuilding bathrooms blindly.

They're specifically asking for fiber infrastructure in acquisition due diligence.The Owner-Owned Infrastructure Model:When you own the fiber/WiFi infrastructure (not a third-party ISP), you have full control over how to monetize or position it:Option 1: RUBS Billing (What The Haven Did) • WiFi as line item on rent statement (technology fee or WiFi fee) • Residents see it clearly but can't opt out • You capture cost + margin • Simple, transparent, generates ancillary incomeOption 2: Baked Into Rent • WiFi cost built into higher base rent • Invisible to residents (just "rent") • Simplified billing (no separate line items) • Positions property as premium/all-inclusiveOption 3: Free Amenity/Concession • "Free WiFi" as competitive differentiator • Used to justify rent premium vs competitors • No separate billing • Works great in high-competition markets or as move-in promotionThe key: YOU own the infrastructure in all three models.

No doubt you'll find that next property with your locked-in vision and crystal clear criteria!
