This is a special “behind the biz” episode where we go 1-on-1 with the businesses that sponsor this podcast and service the student housing industry.
In this episode I interview Steve Carter with Carter-Young Inc. I don’t care how low your delinquency is, everyone ends up having a resident that leaves your community owing for damages or un-paid rent that ends up becoming bad debt. Steve and his company have built a platform on recovering bad debt for student housing providers. They’ve taken the time to understand the student customer and the guarantor relationship and developed a tactical strategy for collecting those balances.
