At Real Capital, we’re always looking for individuals who bring passion, integrity, and a commitment to excellence in everything they do. This application is your first step toward becoming part of a team that values collaboration, growth, and meaningful impact.\nWorking for Real Capital definitely has it perks:\n Comprehensive Benefits - including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and 401(k) retirement plans.\nWork-Life Balance Support - paid time off, holidays, sick leave, parental leave, and other forms of protected leave across our companies.\nWellness & Lifestyle Perks - employer-funded Lifestyle Spending Account, Employee Assistance Program, and access to voluntary benefits such as pet insurance, accident, and critical illness coverage.\nGrowth & Opportunity - a culture of training, development, and internal promotion, with clear pathways for career advancement!\nWe look forward to learning more about you!\nSenior Underwriter - AI-Enabled Investment Analysis\nLocation: Las Vegas / Henderson, Nevada - onsite, with periodic travel for site visits and market tours\nEmployment type: Full-time, exempt\nReports to: Chief Executive Officer\nAbout the Role\nReal Capital is looking for a technically fluent Senior Underwriter to drive acquisitions and investment decisions across our self-storage and express car-wash platforms. You will independently evaluate opportunities, own and improve our underwriting models, keep the acquisition pipeline moving, and help build the governed AI workflows that make our investment process faster and more consistent.\nThis is a high-visibility seat. You will work directly with the CEO, present your own analysis to investors and the investment committee, and set the underwriting standards that future analysts will follow. You will also be the person who translates underwriting judgment into documented, testable systems - the work that determines how much deal volume our acquisitions team can carry.\nWho You Are\nYou are an underwriter first. You can spot weak source data, challenge assumptions, explain what actually drives returns, and defend your own underwriting in front of investors. You are a self-starter who wants to win, and you are genuinely curious about getting better at the craft.\nYou are comfortable with AI tools and structured data today, and you want to go considerably deeper - we will invest in building that expertise. You bring prior experience with, or at least general exposure to, APIs and workflow automation.\nWhat You’ll Do\nUnderwriting and Investment Analysis\nIndependently underwrite self-storage and express car-wash acquisitions, developments, expansions, and value-add opportunities.\nReview offering materials, rent rolls, historical operating statements, budgets, market data, site information, financing terms, and due-diligence materials.\nBuild, audit, and maintain detailed financial models, including operating projections, debt assumptions, returns, sensitivities, downside cases, and exit scenarios.\nIdentify missing, inconsistent, or unreliable source data and resolve it before recommendations are presented.\nResearch markets and competitors, including supply, rents, occupancy, development pipeline, demographics, pricing, and local operating conditions.\nPrepare concise investment summaries that state the opportunity, risks, assumptions, sensitivities, open issues, and your recommendation.\nSupport investment-committee discussions and answer questions with traceable data and analysis.\nPipeline Management and Execution\nMaintain a single, accurate acquisition pipeline showing stage, owner, priority, missing information, underwriting status, next action, and decision date.\nCoordinate with acquisitions, asset management, finance, legal, construction, and operations to keep active opportunities moving.\nSurface stale deals, unresolved assumptions, resource conflicts, and decision bottlenecks early.\nKeep model versions, supporting documents, and decision records organized.\nSupport post-close reviews by comparing actual performance against underwriting assumptions, and feed what you learn back into future underwriting.\nAI-Enabled Underwriting and Process Improvement\nDocument the current underwriting process, model conventions, approval gates, exception handling, and quality-control standards.\nTranslate underwriting workflows into requirements for repeatable AI skills, agents, and pipeline automations.\nValidate AI-generated output against approved financial models, source documents, competitor data, and human underwriting conclusions.\nDefine failure conditions and human-review gates, so the system flags uncertainty rather than quietly filling gaps with assumptions.\nAssist with data mapping and evaluation of third-party sources and APIs, including competitor, rate, occupancy, demographic, and pipeline data.\nBuild lightweight automations yourself, and work closely with engineers on integrations that require production support.\nTrack changes to financial models and AI workflows so output stays reproducible and auditable.\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nWork directly with the CEO and investment leadership to prioritize work across the storage and car-wash platforms.\nTake functional underwriting direction from the relevant asset-class leader while maintaining consistent standards and independent analysis.\nCommunicate clearly with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.\nHelp establish scalable underwriting standards that support future analysts and higher transaction volume.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nIn your first 90 days, you will:\nTake ownership of the active underwriting pipeline, with clear priorities and next actions.\nDemonstrate independent command of our core financial models and investment standards.\nDocument the current underwriting workflow, major judgment points, exceptions, and QA checklist.\nComplete accurate underwriting on live opportunities with minimal rework.\nIdentify gaps in our market data, automation opportunities, and resource needs that would improve underwriting accuracy and speed.\nWithin six months, you will:\nOwn a consistent, auditable underwriting process across both platforms.\nReduce manual work and cycle time without weakening investment judgment or controls.\nValidate and support the rollout of an updated AI-assisted underwriting workflow.\nProduce measurable improvements in pipeline visibility, model consistency, and turnaround time.\nWhat You’ll Need\nBachelor’s degree in finance, real estate, economics, accounting, or business - or equivalent practical experience.\n5+ years of commercial real estate underwriting, acquisitions, investment analysis, or asset-management experience.\nAdvanced Excel and financial-modeling capability, including cash-flow projections, debt modeling, sensitivities, and return analysis.\nDemonstrated use of AI tools for real analytical work - you have put an LLM to work on modeling, data analysis, or research, and can speak to where it helped and where it fell short.\nAbility to independently evaluate assumptions and land on a defensible investment recommendation.\nStrong attention to detail, and the instinct to trace every output back to source data.\nAbility to run multiple active opportunities and deadlines without losing control of follow-up.\nStrong written and verbal communication.\nBased in, or willing to relocate to, the Las Vegas / Henderson area.\nNice to Have\nSelf-storage, car-wash, multi-site operating business, or other operationally intensive real estate experience.\nHands-on experience with Cowork, Claude Code, Codex, or comparable AI tooling, including structured prompting, workflow automation, or output validation.\nComfort working with structured data, APIs, SQL, Python, or business-intelligence tools.\nExperience improving underwriting templates, investment-committee materials, or acquisition pipeline systems.\nInterview Process\nAfter completing initial interviews, finalists should expect a working session of roughly 2 hours, which includes:\nA practical underwriting and model-review exercise using an anonymized opportunity.\nA written investment recommendation identifying key assumptions, missing information, and risks.\nA short exercise explaining how part of the underwriting process could be converted into a controlled AI workflow - inputs, outputs, test cases, failure modes, and required human approvals.\nThank you for taking the time to apply and share your background with us. We recognize the effort that goes into this process, and we truly appreciate your interest in becoming part of our team. If there’s a mutual fit, we’ll be in touch with next steps. In the meantime, we wish you all the best in your professional journey!\nReal Capital is an equal opportunity employer.
