Washington, DC | Hybrid

About Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners

Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners (“JL”) is a leading real estate investment and development firm focused on creating and transforming exceptional, walkable urban places. JL owns, develops, and manages a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, and neighborhood assets.

We are a team of investors, operators, and problem-solvers who believe that great real estate requires more than simply owning an asset—it requires continually finding ways to make it better.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an Asset Management Analyst who is excited by the analytical side of real estate and wants to understand what drives performance at the property and portfolio level.

This is not a role focused simply on producing reports. You will be expected to dig into the numbers, ask questions, identify trends, and help determine what we should do about them.

The Analyst will work closely with the Asset Management team to evaluate property performance, build and maintain financial models, analyze operating expenses and revenue trends, support hold/sell and refinancing decisions, evaluate capital investments, and identify opportunities to increase NOI and long-term asset value.

The ideal candidate is someone who loves Excel, is curious about how real estate works, and enjoys turning a large amount of information into a clear investment decision.

What You Will Do

• Support and assist in asset management, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure operational efficiency and adherence to business objectives.

• Update LIHTC credit delivery adjuster calculations during lease-up and at final cost certification.

• Monitor LIHTC compliance from lease-up through the operating period.

• Ensure financial and compliance reports are filed timely and accurately with all outside capital providers, including LIHTC investor, gap lenders, state housing and finance agencies, lenders, and others as appropriate.

• Monitor all property manager correspondence to ensure they are delivered timely and prepared according to Jair Lynch standards.

• Assist with quarterly and annual reporting for part investors, lender, and partners.

• Assist in coordinating the annual budget process by ensuring all teams adhere to timelines, along with creating and deploying initiatives to improve overall efficiency of the budgeting process.

• Review and summarize key contracts, leases, loan documents, and closing materials with assistance from project counsel, supervisors, and AI tools.

• Stay on top of insurance renewals and coordinate renewals with the team.

• Work with outside tax consultants and AM team to file authorization forms annually, income and expense form, and follow-up documentation as required during the tax appeal process.

• Coordinate monthly and quarterly site visits for both internal AM staff, as well as lender, equity, and other capital partners.

• Oversee data quality for the AM team’s operating database.

• On cap ex projects, coordinate contract execution, change order processing, draw processing, and site visit coordination as needed.

• Work alongside the capital improvement team to explore and evaluate different incentive programs to deploy across the portfolio (ie MEEHA)

• Help monitor all sustainable initiatives including DC’s Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS”) program.

• Monitor and track operating performance versus underwriting assumptions and annual budgets.

• Support efforts to identify strategies to improve net operating income and long-term asset value.

• Support financial modeling and underwriting for multifamily acquisitions and dispositions.

• Conduct market research and analyze rent rolls, operating statements, and comparable property performance.

• On refinancing and financial closing (acquisitions and dispositions), help manage due diligence gathering and dissemination, signatures, wiring instructions, closing binder creation, and other relevant tasks.

• Participate in the preparation of materials for property sales, including data rooms, offering memoranda, and broker coordination.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is analytical, curious, entrepreneurial, and highly comfortable working with numbers.

You Will Thrive Here If You:

• Love Excel and enjoy building models, analyzing data, and finding the answer in the numbers.

• Have a strong interest in real estate investing and asset management.

• Can look at a P&L and quickly start asking, “Why did this change?” and “What can we do about it?”

• Enjoy solving problems rather than simply completing assigned tasks.

• Have an analytical mindset and strong attention to detail.

• Can translate financial analysis into a clear recommendation.

• Are comfortable working with large datasets and imperfect information.

• Are proactive, resourceful, and willing to dig into an issue until you understand it.

• Can manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy.

• Communicate clearly and work effectively with investment, asset management, property management, development, construction, and finance teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.

• 2+ years of relevant experience in real estate, investment banking, private equity, asset management, financial analysis, property operations, or a related field.

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including financial modeling, formulas, data analysis, and presentation of financial information.

• Familiarity with real estate financial concepts, including NOI, capitalization rates, valuation, cash flow, IRR, equity multiples, leverage, and investment returns.

• Experience analyzing operating statements, budgets, rent rolls, or property-level financial information is strongly preferred.

• Familiarity with multifamily real estate is a plus.

Why This Role Matters

The Asset Management Analyst will have the opportunity to see how real estate investment decisions are made after the acquisition—and how analytical insight can directly influence the performance and value of an asset.

You won't just be asked to report what happened.

You'll be asked to figure out why it happened, what it means, and what we should do next.

At JL, we believe the best asset managers are part investor, part operator, and part detective. If you enjoy Excel, real estate, and finding ways to make good assets better, this could be a great opportunity to join our team.
