Real estate asset managers act on behalf of the owners of real estate investments to meet the owners’ specific objectives. We analyze the asset manager’s role in building value at both the portfolio and property levels. Lectures, assignments, cases, and guest speakers introduce the latest techniques in asset management and provide insights into current market and operational challenges. Topics include real estate portfolio management, the asset management strategic process, hotel management contracts, and “owner vs. manager” dynamics.

Outcome 1: Students will learn how to analyze asset manager’s roles in building value at both the portfolio and property levels.
