With Covid-19 still running its course globally, I sit down with Jason Kjellson to discuss a trending alternative investment: Student Housing.
Student housing is simply housing set up for students enrolled in university, in an off-campus area that gives them access to their school, facilities and surrounding areas.
In the last 15 years, this alternative investment has grown leaps and bounds both in demand and in value. According to a recent study, a whopping 63% of college students live in off campus student housing. The demand is consistent and high, even during this pandemic. Jason shares his insights on finding property, how schools are handling this crisis, and changes coming to colleges that may benefit this alternative investment.
A few of the things you’ll learn from this episode:
▶ What types of properties to look for
▶ Changes coming to universities
▶ How to add student housing to your portfolio
In a recent announcement, colleges across the United States will be limiting the amount of students held in on campus dorms. This means the need for off-campus housing is growing by the day. To learn more about how to add student housing to your portfolio, drop a comment or send us a message today!
