About This Training
Sierra Heights Apartments, LP is a poor performing multifamily project in your tax credit portfolio. You recently added the asset to 'watch list' status due to a sharp decline in occupancy and operating deficits (Best Practices Part I webcast). Of course, a back-office desk review of financial statements and operating reports provides only part of the big picture, right?
Site visits can reveal many clues about a property’s operational troubles and potential corrective actions. If you have limited experience conducting site visits to evaluate multifamily assets and property operations, this training is for you. Join Vinnie Viola, Principal of Birch Island Real Estate Consulting, for a 90-minute training that offers a framework for conducting multifamily site visits. Vinnie shares his asset manager’s perspective of a typical two-part site visit, which includes a property physical inspection and evaluations of property and maintenance staff and their policies and procedures. Attendees may submit questions for real-time discussion and participate in several on-line polls.
