Andrew T. Babin covers apartment REITs as well as student housing and manufactured housing REITs. Mr. Babin says that for apartment REITs, sentiment has been difficult for this year so far, and the main reason for that is new supply is overtaking demand, and the market needs time to absorb a lot of the new inventory. Mr. Babin is very positive on student housing. He says where the apartment REITs are having trouble deploying new capital, the student housing companies are still finding very good, accretive development opportunities relative to their cost of capital. He says manufactured housing is a very good business, primarily because capital expenditures are very low.
