Follow on Google News | The Preiss Company’s John Preiss Featured in MHN Online Special ReportRaleigh real estate executive notes importance of “relationships” to close student housing financial deals
By: The Preiss Company In the special report entitled “Student Housing is the Flavor of the Season” written by MHN Online News Editor Anuradha Kher, Preiss discussed dealing with local banks and the lure of bank-owned properties. “We [The Preiss Company] have some local regional banks with whom we have good relationships. But these are recourse loans, floating two-three-year deals with no prepayment,” According to Preiss, the “hottest” deals getting done right now are bank-owned properties that are stabilized and located in a good market. “Everyone is trying to get those deals,” said Preiss. “There are 30-40 offers coming in for those properties. There is a very high level of competition for those deals and they end up trading at very low cap rates.” As Executive VP of New Business Development, Preiss is responsible for growing new business, identifying good debt and equity partners, and overseeing the company’s acquisitions, development, and third-party property management. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Multi Housing Council (NMHC). This year, Preiss was a panelist on the NMHC conference session entitled “Getting the Deal Done: How to Close on a Transaction in the Current Environment” Kher wrote that despite the economic downturn, the student housing sector has not been affected “too badly” during the recession and has been sustained by agency financing. Kher added that although the session panelists talked about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—since these two lenders continue to show a strong interest in providing loans to student housing properties—there are other factors to be concerned about. One factor is the emergence of private equity sources. “There is plenty of equity in the form of not just private equity but also new funds, private investors and family money,” added Preiss. Kher ended the article by writing that regardless of the operator, if they’re strong and have the funds, they will be the ones buying student housing properties in the next few months. “Student housing is the flavor of the season,” Preiss concluded.
