Preparing the Annual Property Budget

Believe it or not, budget season is right around the corner, and sound financial knowledge is essential to the success of each and every multifamily community. As a management professional, creating the annual property budget can be a daunting and overwhelming task. This course will breakdown the process of preparing the annual budget into an easy to follow step-by-step process so you can be prepared for budget season with confidence.
