We are a small, local developer and investment manager, deeply committed to environmental and social sustainability as we work to provide affordable housing.

• Collaborate closely with acquisitions on the due diligence and underwriting of potential acquisitions and support the financial analysis, project underwriting, and business plan development. 
• Assisting in loan and debt reporting requirements and monthly reports to lenders.
• Assist with monthly, quarterly, and annual financial planning, budgeting, and reporting.
• Gather, absorb and analyze financial information, including rent rolls, income and expense statements, lease documents, tax statements, tenant financials, appraisals, and other important elements of deals under consideration to determine accuracy and identify information gaps.
• Providing market analysis to the broader team that help inform investment strategy.
• Update and revise financial analysis through execution and ongoing operations.
• Collaborate with internal teams for ad-hoc reporting, analysis, and projects.

• Initiative – You actively seek out new ways of doing things and bring recommendations to the table. Once you think of, or hear about, a new solution, you implement it.
• Collaboration– You actively seek out input and support from other team members and offer your input and support when others seek you out, because you know that our problems are better solved together. You identify and include other essential team members, and routinely update and proactively communicate with all team members.

• Continuous Communication - You are transparent and clear – verbally and in writing – in service to the team being on the same page. You commit to making the implicit explicit. Even when communication is difficult, you share what you know, see, feel, or experience.
• Stewardship - You promote sustainability and incorporate the mission of Edlen & Co. into your work every day. You take accountability for the role you play in driving more sustainable, resilient and equitable outcomes.
