Resources for Real Estate Students and Professionals During the Outbreak - Edition 3

The expiration of some stay-at-home orders, and the extension of others, is creating confusion for most industries including real estate. Different timing and standards at state, county and local levels are adding complexity to an already challenging landscape. However, we are inspired by the collective determination of our industry as we all move forward.

Like most we are looking forward to returning to some semblance of previous norms. And keenly aware that new standards for the short and long-term are inevitable. Preparing for this new future is as important as ever. Resources including articles, webinars and opportunities to connect are important tools professionals and students can use to prepare for an uncertain future.

This week we have curated the resources for our students and colleagues. Student resources are available to current undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Leeds School of Business. Additional resources are detailed below and available for professionals and students.
