Student housing had emerged as a well developed niche within the multifamily mortgage financing industry. Expertise within the arena is a must, in order to procure optimal financing terms. It's important to consider proximity to college campuses, the size of said campus, as well as the percentage of undergraduate renters. Parental guarantees on leases can strengthen a deal substantially as well. Student housing financing needs can be complex, as can the transactions. As such it is important to have expertise on your side when financing your student housing project.
