Summary
Analytical foundation
Analytical, MBA-trained candidate with a strong foundation in deal screening, underwriting, and proformas. I've built feasibility models, run market and cost analyses, and translated land, budget, and construction data into the numbers behind acquisition decisions across SFR/BTR development.
With 7+ years in the field, I've underwritten and analyzed land and home purchases across roughly 1,200 lots — purchase volume totaling over $100M — and separately run my own SFR investment business, AD Homes & Consulting, completing $8M+ in personal transactions. That's paired with the financial modeling, sensitivity analysis, and executive reporting skills to grow quickly within an acquisitions team.
