Seeking LA Development Analyst

Hey guys. I am seeking a qualified development analyst to join our young development shop in west LA. This is an opportunity to join a group at the ground floor with long-term prospects for growth, and eventually equity participation. Given the very small size of our company (currently two partners), this analyst will get to touch everything, from underwriting and feasibility analysis to development execution, bookkeeping/project accounting, investor relations, etc. We have been around about 7 months and have received institutional-quality funding on approximately 1,000 multifamily units, 250,000 SF of office, and 20,000 SF of retail. We have a very laid back, get-it-done culture--very limited HR policies, flexible work locations/schedule, etc.

Job responsibilities to primarily include modeling deals; putting together deal decks to try and raise equity; helping run deal analysis; project bookkeeping; and expanding to other development execution tasks as you gain experience.

Qualifications: approx. 2 years financial underwriting experience (real estate preferred, IB OK); PPT; strong writing skills.

Comp: to be determined based on qualifications, we will meet the market and there will be a longer term opportunity to participate in deals.

PM me a resume for details.

Is this the venture you mentioned in today's "Why Not Start Your Own Shop?" thread?

I'm sure it would be very informative if you wanted to write a high-level summary of how you ended up going about it.

Hmm I always find it fascinating to read:

  • mindset when you decided to finally go off on your own
  • what pushed you to head out on your own (organic, or an event at work that pushed you to leave)
  • expectations for yourself at the beginning (more money for same hours, become the decision maker, pursue a niche your old firm wouldn't allow, etc)
  • experience up to that point (you've written a wealth of information on WSO but to summarise)

I'm sure others would chime in too.

Apologies if you already did this somewhere and I missed it.
