About the Role

Latino Legends is partnering with a fast-growing, U.S.-based real estate investment platform to identify a driven Investment Associate. Our client focuses on acquiring and operating residential communities across the United States and is actively expanding its portfolio through disciplined acquisitions and hands-on asset management.

This is a high-trust role designed for someone who wants meaningful responsibility and direct exposure to the full investment lifecycle. The Investment Associate will operate as a true extension of the founder, supporting acquisitions, financing, closings, and post-acquisition asset management.

Key Responsibilities

Acquisitions, Financing & Closings

• Analyze new investment opportunities and build, maintain, and refine underwriting models

• Run scenario and sensitivity analyses to support investment decisions

• Draft letters of intent (LOIs) and support negotiations through closing

• Coordinate due diligence, financing, and closing processes with lenders, attorneys, brokers, and sellers

• Review loan documents, purchase agreements, surveys, and closing statements for accuracy and risk

Asset Management & Portfolio Oversight

• Review monthly and quarterly financials, identify variances, and recommend corrective actions

• Assist with operating budgets, rent strategies, and capital planning initiatives

• Monitor utilities, taxes, insurance, and vendor expenses for optimization opportunities

• Track post-closing obligations, repair escrows, and capital improvement projects

Investor & Reporting Support

• Set up and manage investor portals, including capital accounts and distributions

• Draft quarterly investor updates and transaction-specific materials

• Support tax reporting processes and year-end financial deliverables

Ideal Background

• 3–7+ years of experience in real estate, finance, asset management, or transaction-focused roles

• Strong financial modeling and Excel skills with real-world application experience

• Hands-on experience working with lenders, attorneys, brokers, or investors

• Excellent written and spoken English (required)

• Experience supporting founders, principals, or senior decision-makers

• U.S. real estate experience strongly preferred

Required Traits

• Ownership mindset with the ability to follow issues through to resolution

• Sound judgment and strong instincts around when to escalate versus solve independently

• Clear, direct, and professional communicator with external stakeholders

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-paced transaction environments

• Low ego, high standards, and strong accountability

Application Process

Candidates shortlisted by Latino Legends will be asked to complete a case exercise assessing judgment, communication, and transaction thinking.

Why This Role Stands Out

This role offers real responsibility beyond analysis. You’ll work on deals from initial review through closing and remain involved post-acquisition, with meaningful autonomy and trust from day one.
