Podcasts about student housing

What if the biggest mistake investors make is focusing on how to buy a deal instead of how to exit it? In this episode, Frank Herman shares how he and his partners scaled to over $100M in real estate assets, completed multiple full-cycle projects, and built a unique investment strategy around student housing and condo conversions. Frank explains how his journey from truck driver to real estate entrepreneur began with Rich Dad Poor Dad, how an unexpected capital-raising opportunity led to a $5 million partnership, and why patience, transparency, and investor trust have become the foundation of his business. He breaks down his approach to nurturing investor relationships, identifying opportunities with multiple exit strategies, and focusing on specialized partnerships rather than trying to do everything himself. For investors and entrepreneurs looking to build long-term wealth, raise capital effectively, and create sustainable growth, this conversation delivers practical lessons from more than two decades in real estate.

Pool Pros text questions herehosts Steve Sherwood and Pat Rignyan from the California Pool Association take a deep dive into one of the busiest and most overlooked risk seasons in the pool industry: commercial and student housing pools. As pool professionals across the country juggle openings, CPO classes, hotels, HOAs, and large commercial accounts, Steve raises an important question many service companies never stop to ask until it's too late — how much additional liability comes with servicing high-traffic student housing and HOA pools? Pat explains that while most insurance policies don't specifically exclude commercial pools, student housing environments bring a completely different level of exposure due to heavy bather loads, parties, glass breakage, and general “shenanigans.” The conversation explores the importance of umbrella policies, understanding indemnification clauses in HOA contracts, and why pool pros should carefully review agreements before signing. The guys discuss how some HOA contracts place all responsibility on the service company regardless of fault, and why mutual indemnification language matters more than most pool operators realize. Steve also shares real-world frustrations from dealing with hotels and constantly changing management teams, highlighting how turnover, delayed approvals, and lack of communication can create operational nightmares for service companies. The episode ultimately becomes a larger conversation about trusting your gut, setting boundaries with difficult clients, pricing appropriately for high-risk work, and learning when to walk away from accounts that create more headaches than profit. For pool professionals servicing HOAs, hotels, apartment complexes, or student housing, this episode offers valuable insight into protecting both your business and your sanity.  Support the showThank you so much for listening!

From $500 to an 8-Figure Portfolio with Andres Bernal In this powerful episode of the REIGN: Real Estate Investor Growth Network podcast, host Jen Josey sits down with Dominican-born investor and entrepreneur Andres Bernal. From landing in New York with just $500 to building a $12 million real estate portfolio, Andres shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what it takes to succeed in real estate investing. His journey from professional tennis player to full-time investor is packed with grit, resilience, and strategic growth. Andres dives deep into his early days of house hacking with an FHA loan, navigating immigration challenges, and learning hard lessons through tenant issues, failed flips, and even a $107,000 loss on a single deal. Rather than quitting, he used those setbacks as tuition in the "school of real estate." He explains how discipline from professional sports translated into business success—and why coaching, mentorship, and relationships are critical to long-term growth. The conversation covers multiple investing strategies, including Section 8 rentals, student housing near universities like Yale University and University of New Haven, and scaling a flipping business in a competitive market. Andres also shares why he's laser-focused on entry-level homes under $450K, how he flips 25–30 houses per year with zero marketing spend, and why predictable profits beat flashy luxury projects every time. 00:00 Welcome to REIGN: What to Expect From the Show 00:41 Jen's "Badassery Bestowment": 5 Time Management Hacks for Investors 03:49 Meet Andres Bernal: From $500 to an 8-Figure Portfolio 05:28 Starting Over in New York: The First Job Breakthrough 07:54 Legacy Pressure & Choosing Your Own Path 08:51 Tennis Lessons That Translate to Real Estate (and a $107K Loss) 10:48 Why Every Investor Needs a Coach (Even If It Pays Off Later) 12:18 First Deal in 2016: FHA House Hack, Tenant Stories, and Early Lessons 15:01 How to Buy Real Estate With Little/No Money: Creativity, Partners & Seller Finance 17:36 Immigrant Challenges, Visas, and Building Trust in Business 21:24 The Messy Middle: Cash-for-Keys, Contractor Stress, and Outworking the Market 24:21 Section 8 Reality Check: Inspections, Rent Growth, and Common Myths 27:40 How to Place Section 8 Tenants + The "More Bedrooms" Rent Hack 29:55 Student Housing 101: Leasing Cycles, Parents Co-Sign, and Maintenance Strategy 32:05 One Lease, One Team: Avoiding Room-by-Room Drama in Student Rentals 33:31 Student Rentals: Regulation Risks, Vacancy, and Why Demand Still Wins 35:39 How to Pick a Winning Student Rental: Walkability + Enrollment Growth Data 37:30 Scaling Up Flips: 25+ Deals a Year and Why Liquidity Matters 40:59 Finding Deals & Defining the Buy Box: MLS vs Wholesalers vs Relationships 42:16 Why Entry-Level Flips Beat Luxury: Faster Sales, Lower Holding Costs, "Hotel" Deals 47:42 The $107K Loss Breakdown: Auction Mistakes, Barn Decision, and High Water Table Hell 51:18 Where to Follow Andres + The "BADASS" Lightning Round (Books, Advice, Drive, Goals) 56:11 Systems, Success, and Closing: Morning Routine, Team Leverage, Book Plug & Farewell 5 Key Takeaways from This Episode Start Small, Think Big: Andres house hacked his first triplex using an FHA loan and a small family loan—proving you don't need massive capital to get started in real estate investing. Relationships Beat Marketing: He flips 25–30 properties per year with $0 in marketing by nurturing agent and wholesaler relationships and consistently submitting 20–25 offers per week. Section 8 Is Not "Guaranteed" Money: While Section 8 can provide steady rent and annual increases, landlords must pass inspections and adapt to evolving regulations to protect cash flow. Student Housing Is a Hidden Goldmine: By targeting universities with growing enrollment and staying within walking distance, Andres creates high-demand rentals with parent co-signers and predictable income. Predictable > Flashy: Entry-level homes under $450K generate more consistent profits and faster exits than luxury flips in today's higher-interest-rate market. Guest Bio: Andres Bernal Andres Bernal is a Dominican-born real estate investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Sky Circle Homes. A former professional tennis player, Andres immigrated to the United States with just $500 and built an 8-figure real estate portfolio through house hacking, strategic flipping, and long-term rental acquisitions.

An asset class that thrives in different economic cycles is student housing, especially at the best colleges. The demand to attend these schools always far exceeds supply. On the operations side, revenue per square foot often exceeds multifamily apartments because leases are done by the bed. Mark Weinstein, President of MJW Investments, has acquired over $1.5 Billion of student housing, over $1.5 Billion of apartments, plus several commercial buildings, industrial, and self-storage facilities over the last several decades.  Mark is currently raising a fund to acquire student housing in the best locations at the top U.S. college campuses in the country.

2025 has been the year of not taking anything for granted in student housing. There's noise in the headlines, nuance in the data, and if you know where to look opportunity in the fundamentals. Katie O'Neill speaks to Knight Frank's Head of Student Housing Capital Markets, Merelina Sykes, and Head of Student Housing Valuations, Neil Armstrong. She asks; how are investors navigating the current investment landscape? What's really happening with rental growth, and how is it shaping occupancy? And importantly, what does the student think?

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Mike McCormick, Vice President of Facilities Management and Development at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, David Hart, President and CEO of Steinberg Hart, and Roger Krulak, Founder and President of FullStack Modular. They discuss the Student Housing Program at CalPoly located in San Luis Obispo, CA. You can see the project here as you listen along.California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo is confronting a challenge shared by many growing institutions in California: a rapidly rising student population paired with an increasingly constrained local housing market. Nestled in a highly desirable coastal town, the university has limited ability to expand enrollment without adding thousands of new beds on campus—an imperative driven not just by institutional goals, but by the simple fact that the surrounding city cannot absorb additional demand. In response, Cal Poly has launched one of the most ambitious student housing initiatives in the state, a program that will deliver 4,200 new beds through a landmark collaboration with FullStack Modular. The effort aims to redefine how campus housing is designed and built, relying on an industrialized construction strategy that promises speed, quality, and long-term affordability.If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

Robert Bronstein, cofounder and CEO of The Scion Group, talks student housing. He argues that the supply/demand imbalance is widening, with undergrad enrollment projected to rise by 139K per year through 2031. Already, he adds, most students rely on inadequate options, especially on-campus dorms, and believes that off-campus housing needs to fill the gap. He discusses how Scion Group uses technology to predict demand, pricing models, and relay student communications.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On this week's episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Jeff Niemeier. Jeff explains how his journey began in student housing, scaled into workforce rentals, and ultimately led him to focus on build-to-rent townhomes in Iowa. He shares how leveraging his unfair advantage of deep local knowledge and strong partnerships—has given him control over projects and higher margins than traditional multifamily. Jeff also details his entrepreneurial background in internet and cable services, his pivot into syndications, and why personal development, community involvement, and taking action are the cornerstones of long-term success.
