CLASS DESCRIPTION
Understanding your property's financials shouldn't feel like learning accounting—it should feel like managing a property.
In this highly interactive workshop, you'll take on the role of a community manager responsible for the financial performance of a real-world apartment community. Working through a property case study, you'll calculate key financial metrics, build a property financial statement, analyze budget variances, and present recommendations just as you would to a regional manager or owner.
Along the way, you'll discover how everyday operational decisions—from leasing strategies and concessions to maintenance, staffing, and ancillary income—directly impact your property's financial performance and Net Operating Income (NOI).
This isn't a lecture. It's a hands-on workshop where you'll calculate, discuss, analyze, and present your findings. You won't just learn financials—you'll use them.
