- Collect and synthesize target property operating income and expense data from seller financial statements, then project monthly and annual cash flows at both the project and investor level.
- Evaluate portfolio acquisition opportunities by identifying cost structure synergies with existing assets and developing optimized leasing and staffing strategies in coordination with the asset management team.
- Identify key input assumptions driving projected returns and construct dynamic data tables in Excel for sensitivity analysis across variables such as rent growth, occupancy, exit cap rates, and financing costs.

- Draft disposition and recapitalization memoranda incorporating current operating performance metrics, capital market trends, and a forward-looking narrative on the asset's investment opportunity for prospective buyers or new capital partners.
- Structure all memoranda to clearly address prospective investor and buyer questions on deal background, return profile, execution strategy, and market assessment.
3. Market Research & Competitive Intelligence
- Monitor and compile proprietary research on target markets, including rental rates, vacancy rates, concession trends, and capitalization rates using platforms such as RealPage, CoStar, and industry publications.
- Conduct tenant surveys and direct market outreach to gather ground-level feedback on demand drivers, risks, and competitive positioning in target submarkets.
- Engage local brokers and market participants to assess sentiment, identify active buyers, sellers, operators, and potential competitors, and stay current on local zoning and policy changes that affect transaction dynamics.
- Synthesize market intelligence to inform underwriting assumptions, fair market value assessments, and future disposition pricing strategies.
