In this episode, Wayne talks to Kevin Gardner, President of Multifamily Utility Solutions (MUS), about creating miscellaneous income through cable, internet, and other contracts.
Kevin spent nearly 20 years with Comcast and was responsible for managing the team that negotiated telecommunications access agreements with multifamily property owners.
For multifamily property owners and their management companies across the country, Kevin’s experience has resulted in favorable contract terms and improved net operating income (NOI). In 2021, MUS’s clients increased their NOI by more than $4 million, resulting in an increase in asset value of more than $100 million.
