CPM Certified Property Manager ExamFOCUS Study Notes & Review Questions

This book has been updated in Jul 2026. CERTIFIED PROPERTY MANAGER (CPM) is a designation awarded to those outstanding professionals in the real estate management field. To earn this IREM designation, you need to pass the CPM Certification exam, which is a four-hour, 150-question multiple-choice exam that tests your knowledge of property and asset management concepts: marketing and leasing; maintenance and operations; legal and risk management; finance and asset management.We like to classify the exam knowledge domains into two different levels: those that are more business oriented and those that are relatively more technical (those that involve a lot of legal requirements & restrictions). This ExamFOCUS notes focuses on those property management topics that require great deal of attention on regulatory requirements and restrictions. To succeed in the CPM exam, you need to get yourself truly familiar with the most important information by going through sufficiently focused revision. This is where we fill the gap - you may think of our product as the unofficial supplement to the regular training class or text books, or you may view it as a standalone module with a focus on building up your exam readiness.
