IROP Program Review
IROP Credential Program Review and Update
In June 2022, NAAEI evaluated its portfolio of credential programs and identified the Independent Rental Owner Professional (IROP) program as one to review for relevancy to the IRO audience, with regard to its impact in the industry. Starting in early 2023, NAAEI worked with stakeholders to review this program and identify the training needs of the IRO community.
As a culmination of this review, on November 15, the NAAEI Board of Directors voted to sunset the current IROP program in the following way:
-
Individuals that earned the IROP credential prior to July 1, 2024, can continue to use the IROP designation.
-
Effective April 1, 2024, the IROP program has been sunset. No new applications are being accepted for the program.
In its place, NAAEI has introduced a new online education program designed for Independent Rental Owners. Please continue reading for information on this new program.
Independent Rental Owner (IRO) Professional Program
As part of the aforementioned review of the IROP credential program, a training needs survey was sent to IROs in May 2023. Based on the survey results, the NAAEI Board of Directors voted for NAAEI to make a commitment to explore educational offerings for our IRO members.
In early 2025, NAAEI introduced the Independent Rental Owner (IRO) Professional Program, an online education program for Independent Rental Owners designed to provide comprehensive training and resources to help property owners manage their rental properties effectively.
Whether you are new to property management or have years of experience, the program offers valuable insights and practical tools to enhance your skills and maximize your investment returns. By investing in this program, you are investing in your future success as a property owner.
