I don't understand why this company isn't performing better. It specifies in student housing. Students are always going to need housing. Now with more people going back to school, ideally, this stock should be a safe real estate bet.

Since it owns a lot of real estate bought recently at high prices and carries significant debt , this company will be in a tight spot if it loses very many tenants. With the economy still tightening, ACC is likely to encounter a rough patch in the near future.
