Two REITs came onto my radar last year — Campus Crest Communities (CCG) and Education Realty Trust (EDR). I’m always on the lookout for companies that operate in niche spaces because said spaces tend to be highly fragmented, and clear leaders often emerge. Choosing the winner can lead to enormous returns.
What these bogeys have in common is that they own, rent, and manage student housing. This is a business model I like because the U.S. has managed to brainwash its citizenry into believing a college education is absolutely essential to getting a good job. As a result, colleges and universities have been able to run tuition rates up (subsidized by generous and easy-to-access government loans).
