The Ownership Test

If I replaced you tomorrow, what do I keep?

Ask that question of every vendor in your building. The property management system, access control, the BMS, the cameras, the ISP, the DAS operator. Same question, same answer quality.

The tell is usually the pause.

If you don't own your data & digital infrastructure, your vendors do.

There's a better time to find out

Most owners find out what they actually own during diligence

That's when a buyer's team asks the same question and prices the answer against them.

The Ownership Test. Twenty minutes on one of your buildings. We walk the systems with you and sort them into what you own, what you rent, and what you'd lose if the vendor walked away tomorrow. You leave with a written page you can take to your next vendor conversation.

The Three Tells

Three things determine the answer every time

Export rights

Can you get all of your data out, in a usable format, without asking permission?

System admin credentials

Do you hold them, or does your vendor?

Portability in the contract

Is any of it in writing, or is it a promise on a phone call?

Everything you keep is an asset. Everything you don't is a subscription you're funding out of NOI.

One building

Run the test on one building.

One building, twenty minutes, no cost. We'll come back within two business days.
