The (Potentially) Bumpy Path from Property to Asset Management

“The (Potentially) Bumpy Path from Property to Asset Management”
Globe Street – April 1, 2018

In March of this year, the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) held its third annual Commercial Summit with the aim of continuing an ongoing conversation between asset and property managers. It is a dialog IREM has fostered for years, in previous summits as well as the ongoing research conducted on the institute’s behalf by Dustin Read, PhD/JD, assistant professor of Property Management and Real Estate at Virginia Tech.

At the event, Read brought the assembled audience up to speed on the state of that research, which to date has produced three in an ongoing series of books on the subject. One particular area of focus at the Summit was the viability of asset management as a career path for property managers. Read sat down with GlobeSt.com afterward to explore the issue a bit more.
