Types of Student Housing Investment Properties & Offerings?
There are various types of student housing investment properties that people can choose to invest in that could offer various benefits. These types of student housing investment properties include:
- Class-A Student Housing Apartment Properties
The Class A student housing strategy buys brand new, purpose-built student housing properties near university / college campuses with the goal of stable cash-flow and the potential for capital gain upon the sale of the property in 5-7 years.
- Value-Add Student Housing Apartment Properties
The value-add strategy buys well located older student housing properties that we will refurbish to modern standards and add amenities to command higher rents and stabilized occupancy. The goal is to drive the future value of the property to provide the potential for solid capital gains after the property is sold in 3-7 years. The expected cash-flow in this strategy is generally more modest and less stable than that in the Class A strategy due to the interruptions caused by the refurbishment process.
- New Construction Student Housing Apartment Properties
The new construction development strategy utilizes selected, well located land parcels with proximity to campuses to construct purpose-built student housing that upon completion will have all of the characteristics of what our Class A Strategy seeks: high desirability and stable occupancy.
