About Fifteen Group Capital

Formed in 1992, Fifteen Group Capital LLC is a real estate private investment firm with offices in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California. We specialize in opportunity-driven, value-added acquisitions across multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use assets in Florida, Texas, California, and the broader Sunbelt. We are not a large institution — we are a lean, high-performing team of investment professionals who move quickly, think creatively, and build lasting value in markets where others see complexity.

Our multifamily portfolio extends across multiple states and includes workforce housing communities in Los Angeles, where our team sits at the center of our investment and asset management activity. If you are looking for a role with real responsibility, direct exposure to senior leadership, and a clear path to grow within a platform that is actively expanding, we want to hear from you.

The Opportunity

Fifteen Group Capital is seeking an Acquisition Analyst to support the firm's investment and acquisitions team across deal sourcing, underwriting, market research, and transaction execution. This role is designed for a driven, analytically strong professional who is early in their real estate career and eager to develop deep expertise in acquisitions and investment strategy.

You will work directly alongside the Acquisition Associate and Director of Investments on live deals from day one — building financial models, researching markets, preparing investment materials, and supporting due diligence across Florida, California, and Texas. If you are looking for a role that gives you real exposure to the full deal lifecycle in an entrepreneurial, high-performance environment, this is it.

What You'll Do

Financial Underwriting & Modeling

• Build and maintain financial models for acquisition opportunities including cash flow projections, return calculations, and sensitivity analyses.
• Assist with underwriting value-add business plans including renovation cost assumptions, rent growth projections, and exit strategies.

• Maintain and update underwriting templates and model libraries to support deal team efficiency.

Market Research & Deal Screening

• Conduct submarket research and competitive analysis across Florida, California, and Texas to support investment thesis development.
• Screen inbound acquisition opportunities against investment criteria and prepare initial deal assessment summaries.
• Compile market data, transaction comps, and supply/demand analysis using CoStar, RealPage, Yardi Matrix, and other platforms.
• Monitor target markets for on-market and off-market opportunities and track competitive transaction activity.
• Assist in the preparation of market intelligence reports and acquisition strategy materials for senior leadership.

Due Diligence Support

• Support the due diligence process for acquisitions under contract, including document collection, organization, and review.
• Assist with coordination of third-party reports including property condition assessments, environmental studies, and appraisals.
• Review and summarize lease files, service contracts, and operating agreements under senior guidance.
• Assist with physical property inspections and help prepare site visit notes and due diligence summaries.

Investment Materials & Reporting

• Assist in the preparation of investment committee memoranda, deal presentations, and lender packages.
• Compile and maintain deal pipeline reports, transaction tracking logs, and broker contact databases.
• Support preparation of offering memoranda, marketing materials, and disposition packages as directed.
• Assist with investor reporting and portfolio performance summaries as needed.

Team & Administrative Support

• Provide analytical and organizational support to the Acquisition Associate and Director of Investments across all active deals and projects.
• Manage deal files, data room organization, and transaction documentation to ensure accuracy and accessibility.
• Assist with scheduling property tours, broker meetings, and due diligence site visits.
• Support general investment team operations and take on special projects as assigned by senior leadership.

Experience & Education

• Foundational understanding of real estate financial analysis, valuation, and investment principles.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field required.
• Exposure to multifamily or commercial real estate transactions preferred.
