Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up College Dormitories","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-college-dormitories","published_at":"2026-07-01T07:49:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-college-dormitories","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0086.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0086.mp3","summary":"Private equity has been snapping up college dormitories at a record pace, turning student housing into a $200 billion asset class. Lucas and Luna break down the numbers: from the 2014 REIT boom that privatized 90,000 beds to the current wave where firms like Blackstone and Harrison Street are spending billions on purpose-built student accommodations. They explore why universities are selling—aging facilities, budget crunches—and what it means for students: rising rents, stricter leases, and the end of the classic cinder-block dorm. A concrete look at how financial engineering meets campus life, anchored by the case of the University of Illinois' 2024 sale of its south campus housing to a private consortium. #PrivateEquity #StudentHousing #CollegeDormitories #RealEstate #Blackstone #HarrisonStreet #REIT #UniversityOfIllinois #PurposeBuiltStudentAccommodation #AssetClass #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #EdInvesting #CampusHousing #Privatization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Private equity has been snapping up college dormitories at a record pace, turning student housing into a $200 billion asset class.
