Real Estate Asset Management 101

Thinking about a career in real estate asset management or looking to manage your own commercial properties more effectively?

If you’re trying to land a job in real estate asset management, there are a lotof things you’ll be expected to do from day one on the job. And if you’re managing your own deals, the responsibility falls on you to make sure your properties perform well and your real estate deals end up being profitable.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on the asset management of over a million square feet of both multifamily and commercial real estate, working with nationally-known tenants like Walmart, Target, and Starbucks as well as small local operators, and I’ve also managed both stabilized properties and major renovation projects.

And this course is my attempt to take those years of asset management experience and package them up into an easy-to-understand, digestible curriculum, and by the end of this class, you’ll know exactly what’s involved in the real estate asset management process and how to manage deals successfully throughout the entire life cycle of an investment.

• The three main goals of real estate asset management (and how to achieve each)

• The key responsibilities of a real estate asset manager during the property acquisition process

• The most impactful commercial real estate lease negotiation pointsevery asset manager needs to know

• Four must-know financial analyses for asset managers

• How to create an annual budget for a commercial property (including a downloadable budget template)

• How to create attractive, informative investor reports

• The key steps to selling a commercial property and the role of an asset manager during the disposition process

• What it’s like working in real estate asset management (and the compensation you can expect to earn at each level of the industry)

Here’s what some of our students have had to say:
