OneWall Communities says rising costs squeeze workforce housing margins

• OneWall Communities CEO Ron Kutas sees apartment margins squeezed as operating costs rise nearly twice as fast as revenue.
• Expenses and financing consume 89 cents of every rent dollar, leaving about 11 cents if all rent is collected.
• Workforce housing faces greater pressure because residents cannot absorb large rent increases, limiting owners' ability to offset rising costs.
• Properties that secured long-term fixed-rate financing when interest rates were low are the main exceptions, Kutas says.
