SOCIAL ICON WINNER
Through a combination of dedication, creativity, and a knack fo r connecting with their audience, this trio has achieved amazing growth and engagement that’s put RentMSU’s social channels in the spotlight.
Here’s a snapshot of their impressive results:
• 84 new followers – the highest growth across all properties!
• 42,000+ video views – capturing attention with relatable and entertaining content.
• 23.8% boost in engagement – reflecting the team’s commitment to creating
• meaningful interactions with followers.
Andrew, the driving force behind this transformation, has been instrumental in making social media a central part of RentMSU’s outreach strategy since his first day on the job. With a clear vision and strategy, he’s elevated RentMSU’s social media presence to new heights. Bailey joined the team, bringing fresh ideas and enhancing content with her unique perspective. Darci, the newest addition to the team, started off as a reside nt who agreed to star in a TikTok video while the team was visitin g her RentMSU house. That video—a fun, spontaneous, authentic tour of her house—became one of RentMSU’s top performing videos, catching everyone’s attention and ultimately leading to Darci being recruited as a Community Assistant.
This past month, Andrew, Bailey, and Darci took their social media game to the next level. After a strategic team meeting, they analyzed their recent posts, set new goals, and refined their approach. Now, they’re geared up to drive even more engagement, inquiries, and tours through social media.
Congratulations to Andrew, Bailey, and Darci—our October Social Icons! Your hard work, innovation, and passion for what you do are truly making a difference. I’m excited to see where you take RentMSU’s social next!

HIGHLIGHTS IN LEASING
It’s hard to believe that November is here already! With new go als and challenges to pursue this leasing season, our teams are working hard across the board to ensure they are gett ing the most out of their fall lease up.
Last month’s newsletter had a section that focused on some of o ur newest acquisitions and property rebrand parties that were hosted in October. This month, we want to highlight s ome of the exciting renovations and property upgrades that are taking place throughout our portfolio. Whethe r it be in-unit upgrades or enhancements to a property’s amenity spaces, a property renovation requires a gre at deal of preparation, communication, and strategic planning. Leasing through construction requires a great deal of flexibility, creative marketing, and the ability to paint a vision that a resident or prospect might not be able to physi cally see at the moment. Enjoy this Q&A with answers from Kirsten Garnas, Cesar Juarez, and Madelyn Flieg as they br eak down some of the lessons they’ve learned through the challenges and excitement of leasing during a prope rty renovation.
What renovations are being done at your property?
KG: We are undergoing a complete property renovation! This reno vation is turning most of our 4x2 apartments into 4x4’s and is adding brand new furniture packages and stainless steel amenities to all of our units. We are also building a brand-new leasing office, resident clubhouse, and st ate-of-the-art fitness center!
CJ: We are adding 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 townhome style units to our community. We're also upgrading our clubhouse and office area, which will feature new study rooms, a kitchen for residents, and a game room. Additionally, we're building a brand-new, two-story fitness center!
MF: At Quarters Columbia, we are getting new locks on all doors , painting the railings and doors, repairing and replacing stairs, and we just finished getting new roofs and gu tters on our buildings!
What has been the most challenging aspect of leasing through your property renovation and what has been your biggest lesson learned so far?
KG: The biggest challenge has been managing resident expectatio ns during the construction process. With renovations happening around the property, there's noise, disru ption, and the potential for delays. I have learned the importance of clear and consistent communication. Keeping resid ents and prospects informed about the timeline, what’s being done, and how it might impact them is crucial. Tra nsparency is everything during this process.
CJ: The most challenging aspect has been trying to get our resi dents to renew without access to amenities spaces. Some have also been affected by construction related maintenanc e issues. We work hard to turn any negative experiences into a positive interaction. Keeping them up to dat e with what is coming is critical!
How do you build excitement around the renovations with residents and prospects before the physical product is ready for them to see?
CJ: Market as much as possible! I would say go all out when it comes to on campus marketing and promoting your property on social media! We send visual aids of our renderings to residents and prospects to give them a sneak peek of all the amazing upgrades happening and build excitement around them!
MF: We added it to our newsletter this month and I think the wa y you word it to residents and prospects is important. We have been saying that we have exciting updates coming to our property, and that we hope that they are just as excited as us for these new improvements as we are. We want to shape it as positive and let them know that they can reach out to us with questions.

If you had one piece of advice to give to another leasing team who was going to face the challenges of leasing through construction, what would you say?
KG: My advice would be to embrace flexibility and proactively c ommunicate. Lastly, stay positive and enthusiastic to help them see the vision. The process may be tough, but the fin ished product will be something everyone can enjoy, and that enthusiasm is contagious!
MF: Communicate as much as you can with the residents, so they know what is going on. I have sent multiple emails about the construction, added it to our monthly newsletter, and added it as an announcement on their portals. I always try to highlight the good that it will bring to the prop erty! It’s hard to believe that November is here already!

TOP OUTREACH EVENT Recess Partnership
A SWEET START TO THE LEASING SEASON: OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH RECESS
This year, we kicked off the leasing season with a fun collabor ation between all of our properties and Recess, a company known for bringing creative partnerships to b usinesses. During Move-In Week, we made sure every resident felt extra welcomed by handing out tas ty goodies provided by Recess. Our residents received Oreos, Kraft Mac & Cheese, and exclusive Ube r Eats trials. Perfect for settling in after a busy move!
But it didn’t stop there! Each of our sites shared the exciteme nt with their followers on social media by posting content about the products. The Quarters Cedar Falls ev en got a personal shoutout from Kraft, who loved the video they posted. It was a special moment for th e team, and Tailwind Group!
As a bonus, in exchange for the time and effort spent creating social posts, Recess compensated our sites, making this a fun and rewarding initiative. It was a gre at way to connect with our residents, promote our community atmosphere, and kick off the leasing seas on with energy and excitement. Here's to many more partnerships in the future!

LATEST TREND
If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the Dramatic Violin Music trend blowing up! Celebrities, businesses, students—even pets—are jumping on it and adding their own twist. The idea is simple and hilarious: someone makes a request, but then the camera "accidentally" exposes who’s really behind it in the most dramatic and relatable way. This trend has us cracking up, and it’s no surprise it’s gone viral.

TEAM GROWTH IN 2024
We are excited to announce the addition of two key team members in 2024:

Thank you, Molly, for your outstanding performance.
NEW COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ANNOUNCEMENT:
August 29, 2024, Tailwind Group acquired 687 Excelsior Blvd, Excelsior, MN, formerly known as Bayview Event Center and Bayside Grille. This property spans 3.66 acres and includes 350+ feet of eastern lake shore on Lake Minnetonka, divided into three parcels:
· Parcel 1: Houses the former event center, now the office for LoCorr Funds (seller), who will remain as tenants. This parcel will also serve as the new metro office for Tailwind Group. Additionally, it includes the former Bayside Grille and a 37-slip marina.
· Parcel 2: A gated parking lot for the office building and marina.
· Parcel 3: A paid parking lot for the public and the former grille on Parcel 1.
Our initial priorities are to complete renovations of the office building to facilitate Tailwind Group’s move from Plymouth to Excelsior and to find an operator to renovate and reopen the grille. We have identified several opportunities for the grille and are working towards a resolution. Once these priorities are addressed, we will determine the highest and best use for all three parcels as a whole for redevelopment.
INTERESTING FACT:
As it was national news, you may have seen the story of the Rapidan Dam failure due to heavy amounts of rain and flooding in June of 2024 in the Mankato, MN area. Unfortunately, the failure resulted in demolishing The Rapidan Dam Store which had been in operation for some 50 years and is known for its homemade pies. Left without a home for operation, Kyle Smith donated a vacant restaurant (former Wagon Wheel) location in downtown Mankato for them to reopen temporarily.

We have made it through turn and move-in and survived the first few months of the new leasing season. So, let us take a few minutes and talk about a few things that we should all be grateful for. Let us be thankful for our residents; without them, we would not all be reading this month's Tailwind Takeoff. Let us be grateful for our property team. We need every one of you to make it all happen: our maintenance teams, our leasing teams, RSMs, PMs, and our CAs; you all are what makes it happen! Let us be thankful for our Corporate Leasing and Marketing team. They help us reach our goals and make our marketing dreams a reality! Let us be grateful for our Property Accountants and everyone on the financial team. They ensure our bills get paid, and we can make exciting changes at our properties. Let us be thankful for our Corporate Operations Team; they keep us going, answer our many questions, and ensure we can function properly. Let us be grateful for our Legal Department. Without them, we would be out here making bad decisions. Let us be thankful for our senior leadership team; they work daily to help us become better leaders. Let us be grateful to our Acquisitions Team. Without them, we wouldn’t have grown at the incredible pace we do now! Lastly, let us be thankful to Kyle, Reggie, Michael, and Landon. Without them, none of this would be possible!
Happy Thanksgiving from your RPM team! We are so grateful to all of you!

Corporate Operations Update
In last month’s newsletter, the internal interview process was in the works to add an additional Operations Support Specialist to the team. Thank you to all our internal candidates who had interest and were part of the selection process. As you are aware, Andrew Ward has joined the Corporate Operations team and now part of your Operations Support team with Kyla Larson! We are thrilled to have his talents used in a more expansive role. Let’s get to know him a bit more!
What is your favorite experience or story in Student Housing that is SO Student Housing?
I'm an absolute believer that when things can go wrong, they will! Midway through my first turn as a property manager I had a water main break to one of my buildings that caused the water to literally punch a hole through the wall of the unit and nearly go through the next wall, turning two units into a swimming pool. Not optimal but made for a great story!
What made you interested in the Operations Support Specialist role?
I've been at my property for six years, in two roles, and with three different companies. Tailwind's approach to operations support for on-site teams is not something I have ever experienced with another company. As soon as the role opened, I knew I wanted to join this team and be on the front lines of providing the same support I have received over the past few years!
What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
Rotting in my bed while cuddling my dogs!
What always makes you happy?
Grilled chicken nachos
What are you looking forward to most joining the Corporate Operations Team?
I am most excited to get to meet and help out all of the team members at the sites I get to visit!
What’s something not many people know about you?
I once ate a fish eyeball and do not recommend it
Keep having fun getting to know Andrew even more as he provides support to your teams! With Thanksgiving around the corner, the Corporate Operations Team is thankful to get to work with all our site teams and across different departments – we’re thankful for all you do!
