The Mel King Institute for Community Building is sponsoring a two-day training on the Nuts and Bolts of Asset Management.  This training is part of a six-course series that will award successful participants with a Certified Housing Asset Manager (CHAM) Diploma from the Consortium for Housing and Asset Management.

The Nuts and Bolts of Asset Management is an interactive training session that focuses on hands-on opportunities to explore the full range of an asset manager’s roles and responsibilities, which shift in each stage of a project’s life cycle.

The two-day training will include:

• Discussion of the relationship between the various life stages of an affordable property-development, lease up, management and exit strategy, and how an owner’s actions in every stage can impact the other stages;
• Tools and techniques to understand financial reports and audits, vacancy rates, debt coverage ratios and trend analysis;
• Investigation of best practices of nonprofits in developing  internal and external reporting systems;
• Use of performance measurements and performance standards to plan for property success and strengthen property management oversight (both in-house and contracted);
• Completion of a group exercise of a property “workout”

This training session will be led by Jack Geary, who has over 25 years of housing management experience, as a property and asset manager, administrator, consultant and trainer.
