Through the entire course, the significance became clear – that the collaborative focus of the asset manager, portfolio supervisor, and community manager ultimately brings to enhancing and protecting the value of the multifamily asset. From an Asset Management perspective, the property’s future value will be reflected through the containment of expenses, asset appearance, resident credit worthiness, loan compliance and timely/intensive management of the property. With a CAPS training and designation program, the Portfolio Supervisors oversight and guidance, coupled with the Community Manager’s presence on the front line in a collaborative oriented approach, the entire real estate interdisciplinary team will be led towards a more cross functional, real time, systematic methodology to provide top level asset management. It is through this alignment of services and management disciplines that the community’s full value can be maintained and dynamic growth can occur.” – Gary J.
