Interview for Houston, Tx Affordable Housing (Mixed Use) Developer: What models should I know how to build?

I am talking to a small to mid sized development group based in Texas (although they do projects with neighboring states apparently) about an Associate role in their development/acq arm.

What types of excel models must an associate level hire be able to build fluently? If anyone has an example model it would be greatly appreciated.

What substantive real estate knowledge would you say is critical for such a role?

Any other advice or tips from guys who work in this area of development or have gone through the hiring process.
