Industrial Property - Training/Education?

Ian Lockwood

Posted

Is anyone aware of any training/education specifically geared toward managing (or simply understanding) industrial properties? The reason I ask is because my extended family owns an industrial park just outside a major metropolitan area. Examples of tenants/companies are towing companies, auto mechanics, fencing contractors, landscapers, etc. There are about 50 tenants. The current family member who manages it is nearing retirement. I have been approached as a replacement which I am weighing the pros & cons of. I work in residential real estate and have started to dip my toes in investing, but have no experience in commercial real estate. I do not have property management experience either. 

I thought CCIM might have courses specifically geared toward industrial but do not see any. A quick google search did not turn up much. A basic property management course (or several) would certainly be helpful, but I'm wondering if any one knows of anything specifically tailored toward industrial, since I imagine this space is fairly unique. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
