Reactive Asset Management: When Business Plans Change
For assets acquired in 2006 and 2007 it’s likely that their business plans were thrown out in 2008. Rent growth assumptions, development prospects, refinancing estimates and exit strategies have all changed dramatically in the last 12 months. How can you successfully change an asset management strategy to reflect the new realities of today’s and tomorrow’s market? Our panel of industry leaders share examples and advice on how to rework business plans for assets acquired in 2006 or 2007 to better position them for future success.
