That's a nice developer! By them lots of drinks and steak dinners. If
you don't have the $150-$200k handy, beg, borrow or steal it. Preferably
not borrow... that hurts your return for the term of the loan. But it's
still worth it for an asset that will be performing 100 years from now.

As for ROI the developer wants to give us an exclusive right and not
put in copper for phone or TV ;) The take rate should be pretty high
because their other option will be our wireless service.

You will probably get 80% if you are the best value.
And you don’t the full costs for homes that don’t take the
service. No CPE, no enclosure, no drop, no sfp.
Say $2500/customer.
Say you clear $40/month.
40*12=480
480/2500 = 19.2% return from day one forever.
What kind of mutual fund will give you a return like that?

I don't see how the math works (at $150k and 92 homes) if
the cost per unit served is $1630 per house. And your
initial penetration rate will be far, far less than 100%
of homes for monthly services. Even after 3-4 years a
significant percentage may never sign up. Where's the ROI?

Figure one handhole per 2 homes. So 46 handholes.
1.25” between all handholes.
.75” duct from each handhole to each dwelling for drops.
You can run 144 count fiber for spares.
Drop down to 96 or 48 count as it tapers going down
the runs.
You will need a cabinet with a distribution panel,
electronics, batteries.
It will need power.
To go cheap, use a large cisco router with SFPs ports
and SFP to each dwelling with a media converter at the
ends.
Or put in Calix. You can go GPON or Active. With
something this small, I would do Active.
You will have $150 to $200K in before you are done.

Hello,
We are in talks with a developer who is planning a
subdivision on a ~50 acre lot for 92 homes and he
wants us to deliver FTTH. Is there anyone on this list
who would like to consult with us so that we can get
the plan done right from the get go? The developer
will be doing all the trenching and conduit etc., we
will be doing all the electronics and customer service
etc.
Best regards,
Sean
