Q&A Part 2 - Bonus Episode - solving the housing crisis, third-party management and rising rents, balancing investor returns, what do students really care about, data inconsistencies and how do the Housed team balance work/life?

This is the 2nd part of a very special episode that we handed over to you, our lovely loyal audience. We had part one before Christmas but we had so many questions, we had to have a part 2. So this is a bonus episode created just to squeeze in even more insight, opinions and questions.So in the spirit of fairness, we will be pulling names out of a hat to decide what we answer and in what order. And we have a strict 5 minute timer for each answer. A lot of the questions are topics we have touched on previously so if we don’t quite get deep enough into the detail, check back over our past episodes from 2024 and hopefully we will have covered it all over the course of our two seasons.What can be done about inconsistencies in data and is this negating true collaboration?How can affordability and sustainability be achieved whist still meeting the demand of customers and investors?How would we tackle solving the housing crisis?Is the sector compromising on light when looking at what to build and where to build it and do students care?How would we balance affordability, sustainability and investor returns if we were to build our own PBSA?What does the work/life balance look like for the Housed team?Are the amount of third-party operators trying to win business driving rent up?This episode is sponsored by mystudenthalls - check out mystudenthalls.com for all your listings needs.
