Welcome to RealShare Student Housing, an exciting new conference that explores the growing student housing market and further defines this new property type, described as a mix of traditional multifamily with the amenities often found in five-star hotels.

Student populations continue to surge at many colleges and universities. The National Center for Education Statistics says the nation’s college enrollment will grow by at least 10% in the next decade, as an estimated 80 million people will turn 18, the age at which the college experience most often begins. Despite the best efforts by academic officials to add new housing facilities, supply is simply not meeting demand.

Every day requires negotiation with customers, employees, subcontractors, suppliers and government officials. Your negotiation skills could spell the difference between profit and loss.

• Plan for and conduct effective negotiations
• Use the negotiation process in different settings
• Develop a plan for ongoing skill development

Student Housing is one of the most active and healthy niche markets in commercial real estate today. College and university applications continue to increase, a trend that may actually be enhanced by the economic downturn, which makes it harder to get a job and increases the premium on education. All of these students need a place to live and many increasingly look to private student housing operators, making student housing a recession-resistant, if not recession-proof, property type.

When it comes to finding debt and equity, we are facing a new world order. In today’s economy, borrowers are leaving no stone unturned in their search for capital, but the opportunities are rare. The recession has forced multifamily owners and managers to hunker down and plot a path that will not only allow them to survive this difficult period but to thrive once the downturn ends. That’s why now is the time to lay the foundation for that recovery.

At the 2010 Apartment Finance Today Conference, we’ll explore strategies for maximizing NOI, minimizing costs, and finding the best practices for deploying your precious resources. Navigating the new economy can be difficult at best—but the 2010 Apartment Finance Today Conference will help to shed light on the most effective path forward, helping you to cut through the fog of recession and find the next best execution.

(with Meet & Greet on September 14th)

It’s not your typical seminar, conference, or workshop. In fact, we call Brainstorming “the UnConvention” because it’s such a unique event. While our industry offers several annual conventions that address education, networking, technology, and resources; only Brainstorming includes all of these elements and adds the unique opportunity to work face-to-face with your peers and the best-of-the-best in our business to generate thousands of ideas worth millions to your company, communities, and career, guaranteed to repay your investment and more. Some of the best ideas in the business were born at one of our 25+ Brainstorming events. This year’s agenda event includes:

More than thirty incredible educational opportunities—more than we’ve ever offered at a single event;

Seven distinct networking opportunities;

Exciting and powerfully informative new tech features to supercharge your social networking skill set;

The most innovative product and service providers in our industry all in one room;

A fabulous new challenge-solving session with the best-of-the-best challenge-solvers we know;

Opportunities to Brainstorm with other industry professionals as well as develop tailored solutions with only your own team;

An idea-sharing panel session with some of the most creative people in our business;

The famous Dream Team of Brainstorming Facilitators, professionally trained to lead you in creating real-world, ready-to-implement strategies and solutions;

And more fresh ideas than you can possibly implement;
