Rising insurance premiums, tightening rent control regulations, and last-minute financing failures are changing how deals get done, and in many cases, causing transactions to fall apart entirely.In Part 2 of this conversation, David Moore of Equity Advantage 1031 Exchange sits down with student housing and multifamily expert Rene Nelson (Pacwest Commercial) to break down what’s happening behind the scenes in today’s market. They discuss why insurance has become one of the biggest deal killers, how rent control impacts student housing differently than traditional multifamily, and why many long-time owners are choosing to exit.The episode also dives into practical strategies investors are using to navigate uncertainty, including seller carry options, wrap note considerations, and how 1031 exchanges can be structured when financing or insurance issues arise late in a transaction.This episode is especially relevant for student housing owners, multifamily investors, and advisors looking to understand where the risks are and how to plan proactively before costly mistakes are made.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!
