Advancing Communities Podcast: Asset Management With A&M – The Developer’s Perspective

Graphic for Podcast episode 3 of AM with A&M

Cinnaire’s Advancing Communities Podcast includes a special asset management series called AM With A&M. Asset management experts April Priebe (A) and Miranda Bialk (M) bring together thought leaders, policy makers, and others to discuss issues, share strategies and provide resources to professionals working in the field of asset management (AM).

In this month’s podcast, April and Miranda invite Joseph Hankes, Senior Asset Manager for the Wisconsin Housing Preservation Corp. to talk about asset management from the developer’s perspective. As a senior asset manager, Joseph is responsible for developing and maintaining strategic asset management, financial management, and risk management activities for WHPC, the largest owner of affordable rental housing in the State of Wisconsin.

In this podcast, you’ll learn about:

  • The importance of collaboration between the asset management team and the development team, particularly in the early stages of development.
  • What to consider when assessing risk levels from the construction phase through lease-up.
  • What demarcates the construction phase from the lease-up phase.
  • The importance of monitoring actual outcomes vs. projections to ensure compliance, particularly in the first year.
  • How to develop contingency plans if compliance is endangered.
  • And how a Tik Tok challenge sparked an asset management crisis.

On the next episode of AM with A&M, April and Miranda will discuss emerging risk and special assets.
