  • Free on-demand courses: A number of on-demand courses are available to the public on trending topics useful to property managers. Courses are rotated and available on a two-week basis. Recently available offerings have addressed forming a virtual team, leading a virtual team, and complying with legal issues related to multifamily marketing and leasing.
  • Pandemic Guide for Real Estate Managers: The “Pandemic Guide for Real Estate Managers” will help property managers prepare for pandemics and protect tenants and residents.
