The business development center at Oregon Coast Community College is offering a new online course in January and February on real estate property management.
The eight-week evening course is designed to prepare students to take the Oregon property manager license exam.
“With new apartment complexes coming on the scene throughout Lincoln County this year, and with the vacation rental market running just as hot as long-term rentals – not to mention the county’s thousands of hotel rooms – there’s never been a greater need in Lincoln County for trained and licensed real estate property managers,” said Dave Price, the college’s small business center director.
Price said the course is the fastest way to qualify to take the exam, which covers the role of property managers, tenant relations, fair housing, lease agreements and more. Students must attend all evening class sessions, and have online capacity to complete the self-study portion of the course.
“We believe this course has the potential to support the local economy on two fronts: helping local hospitality workers progress in their careers without leaving the area, while also improving the level of service and professionalism delivered to local renters as well as tourists,” Price said.
Tuition is $550. The course will be delivered live via Zoom from 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays, Jan. 12 to Feb. 23.
Registration is available online or by calling the college’s business development center at 541-996-6222.
