This episode includes our 4th installment for our Profiles in Student Housing series. In this episode, Wes interviews Mike Mouron of Capstone Real Estate Investments.

Mike orchestrated one of the first P3 projects that utilized a 501c3 housing foundation, tax exempt bond financing, and a university land lease which drastically changed the landscape of student housing.

Due to a year of lock-downs and lenders providing extensions of loan maturities, a large amount of student housing property owners are looking to secure refinancing this year. But what does that mean for managers and site staff who are tasked with preparing the property for the multiple inspections and other tasks related to the underwriting process? We answer that question and many more in this episode when we sit down with Will Baker from Walker & Dunlop.
We also sit down with Rich Kelley from Student Housing Business Magazine to discuss this year's Interface Student Housing Conference in Austin TX scheduled for July 13th-15th. Rich will give us a preview of what is on tap and what attendees can expect after last year's event ultimately had to go virtual.

Monday Mar 29, 2021
Monday Mar 29, 2021
A lot of private purpose-built student housing communities are expected to be sold in the coming year. Between the pandemic halting many of the transactions tee'd up for 2020 and a higher number of CMBS loans reaching their 10-year maturity in 2021-2022, there will likely be a record number of transactions this year.
So, we wanted to find out how on-site staff can position their property for a successful sale. In this episode, Wes sits down with Jamie Swick of Colliers International to discuss what she has seen throughout her career that site staff and property managers should be thinking about. Joining Wes as guest co-hosts, Ryan Hand who is the VP of Business Development at CA Ventures, and Greg King who is a General Manager with Asset Living... both give their perspectives on property sales and take-a-ways from the interview with Jamie.
