A solid introduction to property management
26 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a good general introduction to the business of property management. This textbook includes chapters on
1. Professional Property Management
2. Property Management Economics and Planning
3. Managing Owner Relations
4. Marketing Management
5. Managing Leases
6. Managing Lease Negotiations
7. Managing Tenant Relations
8. Managing Maintenance and Construction
9. Managing Reports and Insurance
10.Managing the Office
11.Managing Federal and State Laws
12-16. Managing Residential/Specialized/Office/Retail/Industrial Property
17.Managing Life Safety and Environmental Issues
There are chapter questions with elaborated answers in the back of the book to guide your studies and a pretty decent glossary for many of the business-specific terms.
Obviously, as a general course, it is not intended to address ANY topic in great detail and it is unlikely that most readers will find a need to cover the management of such a variety of property types. But this is the starting place.
I have owned and managed rental property and the parts of the book addressing residental property rang true. If you are considering getting into the rental business or property management business, this is a good initial resource.

Full of good statistics
12 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
Took this course a few years ago, and we used this book. It is a good starter book. There are others out there that could be used also, but this one is written at the average persons reading level. It also is good becuase it covers all properties not just apartments or retail etc..

Property Management, 6th edition
11 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
11 September 2010
The book appears to cover the basic points to be made about property management but could contain more critical detail.
It was not purchased for a class but to learn if it had specifics about management of condomimiums and outsourced management companies. It did not mention details about the relationship between the owners, their boards and the management companies such as mandatory audits, fiduciary considerations, education of board members, etc. Typically, the owners/boards abdicate total management to outsourced companies and this should be mentioned and ways of board control and awareness should be mentioned. This alterting could be done in just a few paragraphs.
Other well known books have been consulted. They also fail in this regard.
