This is a **high-ownership, analytical role** requiring independent thinking, fast decision-making, and strong attention to detail. You are expected to proactively identify missing data, disqualify weak deals early, and drive analysis forward without step-by-step instruction.

### Agent & Wholesaler Communication

-   Collect missing information quickly and professionally
-   Maintain strong, responsive communication with external partners
-   All negotiation and offer discussions remain with the Acquisitions Lead

### Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

-   3+ years of hands-on US real estate underwriting experience (SFR + small multifamily, value-add focus)
-   Proven ability to independently classify deals (Pass / Keep / Escalate)
-   Strong understanding of ARV analysis, comps, investor buy boxes, and pro forma modeling
