  • DEDICATED STUDENT HOUSING PROPERTIES

    Dedicated Student Housing Properties (i.e., 80% or more units leased to undergraduate or graduate students) require additional underwriting documentation. In addition, a Dedicated Student Housing Property must:

    • be near a campus with at least 10,000 student enrollment (greater than 50% full time);
    • be within 2 miles of campus boundary line or on a college/university-owned transportation line;
    • have operated for at least 1 full school year (i.e. August/September through April/May), and be in its 2nd full year of operations; and
    • At least 80% of all leases have 12 month leases terms with parental guaranties or be leased by students having the financial ability to pay for the required rent (whether through employment or other documented financial means).
    • A Dedicated Student Housing Property may be located on university-owned land if the Key Principal has had a minimum of 5 years of Dedicated Student Housing experience, and operates at least one other Dedicated Student Housing Property located on college- or university-owned land.

In its prequalifying review, Lument will attempt to estimate both the loan amount and the fees and costs associated with the transaction. Actual loan amounts and actual fees and expenses may vary from the prequalifying estimates. A prequalifying estimate is not a commitment to make a loan.
