In Episode 103 of Your Landlord Resource, we dive deep into our real-world experience installing property-wide fiber optic Wi-Fi in a six-unit rental property. This isn’t theory—we share what worked, what we wish we knew sooner, and what it all cost. From upgrading a midterm rental and supporting smart locks to giving tenants high-speed access at a fraction of retail pricing, this episode is packed with tips for self-managing landlords.

We break down why Wi-Fi is becoming a top must-have amenity for renters (with 90% of tenants in a 2024 NMHC survey rating it essential), and how landlords can meet that demand in a cost-conscious and scalable way. You’ll learn what types of properties benefit most, how much bandwidth you really need, and how to handle the install without blowing your budget—or your mind.

We cover the technical details landlords need to know, including using VLANs for tenant privacy, installing CAT6 ethernet, and choosing between budget systems like TP-Link or pro-level gear like Ubiquiti. And most importantly, we talk about whether tenants truly value this amenity and if it’s worth the investment.

If you're a landlord managing a duplex, triplex, or small multifamily and want to offer high-speed internet while protecting your bottom line, this episode is for you.

In Episode 101 of Your Landlord Resource, we pick up where we left off in our 100th episode and dive into the “how” behind pushing through hard times as landlords.

From unexpected repairs and long vacancies to personal setbacks and stalled growth, we’re sharing how we’ve stayed motivated—even when the work was overwhelming. This episode is packed with mindset shifts that helped us learn to love what the work does for us, even when we didn’t love the tasks themselves.

We also walk through what it means to “think like a CEO” in your rental business. That means learning how to gather and use data—from vacancy rates to tenant behavior—to make smart, strategic decisions without relying on emotion or guesswork.

Whether you're struggling to fill a unit or navigating a season of hustle, we’re giving you practical ways to stay grounded, clear, and motivated.
