Steve has 20 years of finance and real estate expertise specializing in student housing and multifamily property acquisition, management, and development.
Expertise
My core focus is multifamily housing. As a full time owner, manager, and investor, I wake up everyday seeking to better understand the capital markets, customer trends, and operational efficiencies within this exciting asset class. This research direct informs my teaching style and the topics and techniques I use to instruct each class. I love this dynamic industry and attempt to convey that passion to every student I have the opportunity to serve.
