Researchers at Wake Forest University have found that medical schools simply do not provide obesity education to their students, and only a small minority of
major medical centers even provide adequate, effective training to students in caring for obese patients.
Plus, when it comes to student housing and
medical office properties, there is less emphasis on the assets being located in or near
major urban
centers, meaning it's possible to find great opportunities in secondary and
even tertiary markets, where the cap rates are likely to be lower overall.
