N.O.I Growth Strategy

The number one distinctive of Innovative Student Housing is our focus on NOI growth.

Every aspect of the company's operations is focused on this goal.In short, our fees are aligned with it, our team's compensation is based on it, we train for it, and we report NOI growth monthly.

Selection & Training

Any strategy to grow NOI requires the leadership of the on-site property staff. We employ comprehensive testing and multiple interviews to help predict leadership strengths and overall job fit.

Expense Optimization

To our knowledge, we are the only third party property manager that employs a formal purchase order system for expense control. We advocate for the owner of the property and spend their money as they would. Just because it is in the budget doesn't mean we will spend it. With enough focus and creativity, each property can be run with an effective cost control discipline.

Leasing & Marketing

Leasing and marketing in a digital age requires special competency in social media. A well-conceived strategy to segment the campus market then penetrate each segment is a formal discipline of marketing that has served our clients well.

Optimizing Property NOI

Our core service is to manage your property to maximize its NOI potential. We are a full service property management company.

Designing it Right from the Start

We assist developers in the design phase in three ways.

First, we assist in the architectural design of the facility itself. Through our experience in development, in market research, through focus groups on your target campus, we will help you gain the best competitive advantage in the design of the facility, the amenities and the grounds.

Second, we will create a business plan for lease up while under construction. We utilize the same kind of format used by DSG Consulting to help Fortune 500 companies create their Go-to-Market Strategy.

Third, we will handle the entire lease up process for you to help maximize NOI for long term financing or sale.

Asset Management & Optimization

If you elect to use another property management company, we can still bring Best Practices to your property. By electing to use us as Asset Managers, we will fulfill the typical responsibilities for financial reporting and control. But we will also evaluate the property against our Best Practice Model and report performance results to you as an owner to provide objective oversight and a roadmap for improving property operations.

Property Acquisition

With college enrollment expected to continue to increase, the investment into the student housing sector remains strong compared to other mechanisms. Through various direct investment avenues, Innovative Student Housing continues to identify on and off market student housing communities that are well positioned for acquisition. Through our affiliate investment fund, Innovative Student Living, we can provide a conduit for your exit strategy and shorten your due diligence period.

Market Analysis

Buyers of student housing properties as well as lenders need objective analysis of the markets they are evaluating for purchase or financing. Fundamental questions include: Is a community positioned correctly in the market? Is there room for additional beds in the market? How much new competition is coming on-line and how does this impact rent growth? Are there pending changes at the University level that will negatively impact the market?

Innovative Student Housing offers a comprehensive market evaluation process to determine viability and sustainability within the market. Through this process, Innovative Student Housing will evaluate the University's enrollment, current market conditions, potential new campus housing that will compete with off campus housing, as well as proposed new off campus supply that may impact absorption.

In addition, Innovative Student Housing will evaluate and survey the student base, as well as the quality and serviceability of the potential asset or development Based upon the evaluation of all these and other aspects, Innovative Student Housing will make detailed recommendations to the investor and work side by side with the client to execute those recommendations.
