Fintalent provided an M&A freelancer for one of our latest corporate M&A projects. The support was incredibly fast, hands-on and of high quality and critical to advance the project we were not able to address with internal resources.

We needed an interim CFO to help put our fast-growing FinTech on the right track. I found a number of great candidates incredibly fast. We’ve now hired our Fintalent full-time!

US Real Estate Modeling single family homes (residential)

Project
Looking for someone to build real estate financial models in Excel. The work scope requires a few base models in the next 7-10 days. Then additional modelling incorporating unique new factors from time to time. Generally, the goal is to understand and present investment models to prospective investment partners while being able to modify a wide range of assumptions. It is important that the models be accurate and present the information clearly and professionally. More specifically, the real estate assets are for single family home communities that we develop and build for rental. We need to model the basic real estate projections…projected revenues, projected expenses, projected property taxes, depreciation, cash flow, EBITDA, debt levels, debt coverage ratios, income tax from operations and capital gains on sale. We have a few unique aspects to incorporate into the modelling... • Recovery of portions of the property tax payments ( TIF ) • Sale of the asset and continued recovery of future tax payments • Qualified Opportunity Zones • Government rent subsidies on a portion of the homes. • Investors in 2 ownership classes with different rights and payment preferences. With the relative complexity of the models and the expectation that the scope will likely expand or change, I am fine working on an hourly basis with a reasonable estimate of costs. We will require an NDA for the work and complete ownership of the finished work.
