Quote from @Daniel Sehy: Hey everyone —We’re actively expanding our portfolio into student housing and building long-term buy-and-hold strategies around Tier-2 and SEC campus markets.Target Criteria:80+ units (purpose-built or converted)Within 3–5 miles of campusMarkets with growing student populations and limited new supplyIdeally pre-leased or with some operational track recordWe’re open to both on- and off-market opportunitiesWe’ve modeled our acquisition approach around high-yield, Tier-2 university markets (think: Coastal Carolina, Troy, Kennesaw, Eastern Kentucky) where competition is lower, student demand is steady, and mom-and-pop owners still control a big chunk of inventory.We’re also looking at core SEC metros — Auburn, Columbia, Knoxville, etc. — but only where value and scale align.My ask:Who are the sharpest agents or brokers in your network with real student housing experience (not just MF)?
