We don\u2019t know how long the pandemic will run and thus delay the return to normal working patterns. Could demand for office space tail off permanently, for example?<\/p>\n<p>Real estate investment managers can gain the necessary data transparency, control and understanding of their investment data in a remote work environment just as they do in the office \u2013 with a single connected platform that allows collaboration between teams, while centralising all their key financial and operational real estate metrics, even if outsourced, for analysis, reporting and decision-making. Automating the real estate fund cycle eliminates the possibility of losing data transferred among systems and times capital calls to updated operating data. It also simplifies financials consolidation, makes investor reporting easier and provides insight into assets. Additional benefits include easier tracking of deal progress and terms and calculation of returns and comparisons to benchmarks. All of this serves to mitigate risk.<\/p>\n<p>Some business necessities don\u2019t change, even in a crisis as monumental as COVID-19, including quick analysis of investor, fund and portfolio key metrics, effective communication with investors, and efficient management of fund raising and deal tracking. An integrated platform for investment management can be a real estate investment manager\u2019s best tool for maintaining normalcy at this unprecedented time.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how Yardi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.eu\/products\/yardi-investment-suite\/\">investment management solutions<\/a> drive efficiency and investor satisfaction \u2013 whether you\u2019re at home, in the office or in the field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our previous article explored key portfolio risk mitigation challenges faced by real estate firms amid today\u2019s uncertain market conditions and the likelihood that future income streams will fundamentally change.
