    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Thesis: State fiscal year 2027 budgets reflect a commitment to financial discipline with a widespread desire to preserve ample fund balances, limit spending growth and plan ahead for revenue uncertainty.

    Why student housing bond buyers must underwrite the university, not just the project (opens the original)

Today's student housing bonds demand a fundamentally different approach to credit analysis - one that integrates institutional strategy, third-party engagement, demographic realities, and operational execution. Observation: While construction and real estate risks are relevant, the ability to sustain demand at a time of demographic change, shifting student preferences, and
