More parents are willing to co-sign leases for their children, which gives developers and lenders comfort. As the economy recovers, lenders are more willingto finance student housing but require 35% to 50% equity and some recourse, says Rafael, who managed the development of Roosevelt University’s “Vertical Campus,” now in its first full academic year.
