Real Estate Analyst

Exponent, Kansas City, MO, United States


Join a Kansas City-based real estate investment firm focused on hands-on underwriting and financial modeling across multifamily, hospitality, and healthcare projects, offering rapid growth and direct mentorship in a founder-led environment.

Why We Like This

Hands-on real estate finance:

Immediate ownership of underwriting and financial modeling across multifamily, hospitality, and medical office projects.

Direct mentorship:

Work closely with senior leadership and the capital decision-maker, accelerating your growth in a founder-led, high-expectation environment.

Growth and impact:

Opportunity to influence deal decisions early, with a clear path to increased responsibility, project bonuses, and potential phantom equity participation.

Requirements

Ground-Up Development Underwriting: Proven ability to lead deals from initial underwriting through feasibility and go
o-go decisions, taking the front-end financial analysis off the founder’s plate and ensuring projects meet equity partner return hurdles.

Strong Excel & Financial Modeling Skills: Advanced Excel chops are a must—building and maintaining detailed pro formas, capital stacks, and sensitivity analyses with robust templates across multifamily, hospitality, and medical office projects.

Real Estate Finance Experience (2–4 Years): Looking for hands‑on commercial real estate underwriting, lending, or development finance experience, ideally with exposure to construction and bridge loans, and a preference for real asset deal involvement over paper CRE or general corporate finance.

Responsibilities

Underwrite and build detailed financial models:

Own the development and upkeep of Excel-based pro formas, sources and uses, capital stacks, and sensitivity analyses tailored for multifamily, hospitality, and medical office projects.

Analyze project returns and feasibility:

Dive into IRR, equity multiple, yield-on-cost, and DSCR metrics to rigorously assess deal viability, enabling smart go
o-go decisions early in the process.

Conduct market research and due diligence:

Lead the gathering and analysis of rent, cost, and sales comps to validate underwriting assumptions and sharpen investment theses.

Collaborate cross-functionally:

Partner closely with design, construction, and legal teams to confirm project assumptions, monitor budgets, and ensure financial targets are aligned across functions.

Support investor and lender communications:

Prepare clear, compelling investment memos, lender packages, and pitch materials that drive capital raises and smooth deal execution.
