Episode 92: From Student/Tenant to 1,200 Units in Hyde Park

What’s your unit goal? Is it 20...maybe 50? Well today’s guest explains how his company amassed 1200 units solely in Hyde Park, (not including their north side portfolio). Nick Hollenkamp drops street-level advice on the different corridors of Hyde Park along with his ten year forecast for the neighborhood. 

Nick provides great soundbits on why you should never fully give up on a deal, which pockets of Hyde Park present opportunities for smaller sized investors, the benefits of student housing, and why it’s important to develop strategic relationships.
