AM121el Nuts and Bolts of Asset Management (CHAM)

Nuts and Bolts of Asset Management is an interactive and engaging workshop designed for housing practitioners and board members. Registration for the course is available on the CHAM website.

The course includes an overview of key property asset management concepts, theories and responsibilities, including:

  • The double bottom line concept of affordable housing ownership – the theory of steering properties toward both business and mission-based goals and outcomes.
  • Key asset management functions and responsibilities through the life stages of property – planning, construction, lease up, operations and disposition – with a focus on the critical interrelationship between these stages.
  • Basic number-crunching of key property performance indicators designed to increase understanding of these indicators, as well as their relationship to financial and operational health and long-term viability. This includes revenue, occupancy, expense and financial ratios as well as trend projection analysis.
  • Training on the review and analysis of property financial reports and property/partnership audits as well as best practices for tracking, measuring and assessing progress toward key operational and financial performance.
  • This course is a great orientation to the subject and is perfect for new employees, board members, people with new asset management duties, property managers, and executives who supervise asset management. Valuable on its own, Nuts and Bolts of Asset Management is also the first of three courses required to earn a career-changing Asset Management Specialist designation.
