Fred Pierce - Profiles in Student Housing - SHI710

In this episode, Wes sits down with the founder and CEO of Pierce Education Services, Fred Pierce, to talk about his journey in student housing.  For Fred, that journey began at his alma mater, San Diego State University, when he helped the university figure out a way to acquire and redevelop tracts of land surrounding the campus.  His career is a testimony to how building relationships and providing value to those relationships will open up doors that may have never been possible for other developers.  For those audience members who want a better understanding of real estate development and acquisition, you'll want to take notes.
