Property Portfolio Management: An Introduction

Property portfolio management can be a highly specialized business. The wide variety of possible land interests, the fact that property has no central marketplace as an investment medium, and the high level of secrecy that often surrounds property deals mean that investing in property is very risky for the unwary and untrained. This introductory text on property portfolio management focuses specifically on the investment context of property transactions. Analyzing methods of appraisal, creation, risk and returns for both individual investments and full portfolios; examining the involvement of major investors in the property market; exploring various strategies for managing investment property; and discussing trends in both national and international arenas, "Property Portfolio Management" is aimed at those who seek to maximize return and minimize risk in this uncertain environment with its concise comparisons of options available to the investor. This book should be of interest to students and professionals in the fields of property, estate management, development economics, surveying and investment analysis.
