Development Analyst - Excel Test
Background isn't in development, but looking to make a switch. What should I prep for in anticipation for any modeling or Excel tests?

For an experienced analyst role and not straight out of school, I'd expect one of two things:
1) Easy Option - Simple value-add acquisition model with additional CAPEX incurred in a single month that you can show as an additional equity drawdown, and modeling the associated increase in cash flow thereafter, then roll it into printable summary pages with property summary, performance metrics, etc.
2) Complex Option - Model a ground-up development with construction loan draw schedule through to stabilization and build out similar summary pages. The draw schedule would be simple (i.e. land, hard costs, soft costs, fees and financing and you can straight line all costs).
I'd be prepared for either of these. You're more likely to get #2 IMO but if its more of an entry level role, you'll get #1 or even simpler.
Thanks! Do you happen to have any examples or links that you could share?
