Why Invest in Student Housing?

At XFD Real Estate, we specialize in acquiring and repositioning underperforming purpose-built student housing in markets with strong fundamentals. We leverage our deep knowledge of the sector to drive our value-creation strategy and execution, to consistently deliver risk-adjusted returns for our investors.

The student housing sector has proven its ability to withstand economic downturns, with universities maintaining enrollment and housing demand even in challenging markets.

Colleges and universities bring in a steady stream of students each year, ensuring high occupancy rates and reliable rental income. Unlike traditional multifamily housing, student housing benefits from predictable leasing cycles tied to the academic calendar and the strength of the university.

Leasing by the bed rather than by the unit allows for increased rental income. Purpose-built student housing often commands premium rents due to proximity to campus, amenities, and convenience.

Many student leases require parental co-signers, reducing financial risk for property owners. This added security helps maintain consistent rent collection and lower delinquency rates.

Properties near major universities continue to see strong demand and value growth. As institutions expand and student populations increase, well-positioned assets benefit from sustained appreciation and investment stability.

The influx of institutional capital into student housing has elevated asset values and increased liquidity in the sector. As more large investors recognize the stability and returns of student housing, the market continues to mature and transaction volume remains stable, offering strong exit opportunities and long-term value appreciation.
