California Apartment Association

Rental housing professionals have begun broadening their knowledge of property management via the California Apartment Association’s new webinar series.

The property management courses debuted Tuesday, March 12, with the first of two 90-minute segments on “Preparing the Property & Professional Leasing Skills.” CAA broadcast the second segment Thursday, March 14.

“We had several students from several remote locations, including Ukiah, Merced, Victorville, Ojai and Oxnard,” said Jim Lofgren, executive director of the Rental Housing Association of Sacramento Valley, a chapter of CAA. “This distance-learning option is reaching a new audience.”

Each of the nine courses in the series is divided into two parts. All are webcast from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The next course, at 1:30 p.m. today, March 19, focuses on “The Move‐In Process, Rent Collections & Notices.”

Students can take the classes from the comfort of home or office. Completing all nine makes them eligible for a California Certified Property Managers (CCRM) certificate. Alternatively, pupils wanting to enhance specific skills can  take a single course or a combination of classes to meet their individual needs.
