Property Manager Essentials
PURPOSE: The critical component of successful PHA transition to project-based accounting, budgeting, and management (PBM) is highly skilled staff at the sites. Property managers must know how to manage their properties as a business. Gaining the knowledge, skills and abilities to be business managers includes monitoring and managing to the budget, overseeing the marketability, curb appeal and unit turnaround of the property to keep units leased (which may include site-based waiting lists), collecting rents to maximize cash, and buying goods and services for the project.

In this training, you can learn all this, in addition to other valuable topics such as lease enforcement, terminations, property management, PHAS, and nondiscrimination requirements.
