What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on real estate investment analysis and market research.

I am an analytical and detail-oriented real estate investment underwriter with focused experience in evaluating both single-family and multifamily investment opportunities. My expertise lies in cash flow analysis, comparative market assessments, risk modeling, and creative finance underwriting. I have a strong understanding of underwriting methodologies and market-based valuation, which allows me to identify viable acquisition targets and structure investor-ready deal presentations effectively.

Currently, I work as an Independent Real Estate Underwriter, where I have underwritten over 100 residential and multifamily investment opportunities using industry-standard metrics such as NOI, DCR, and cash-on-cash return. My role involves developing comprehensive offer sheets and investment summaries for various deal structures, conducting detailed market research, and evaluating acquisition feasibility based on investor return criteria. My previous experience as a Title Research Assistant has further honed my skills in risk mitigation and asset tracing, making me a well-rounded candidate in the real estate investment sector.
