Three decades in real estate and $22B+ underwritten across 38K residential units, 1.4K hotel keys and 13.5M commercial SF reinforce a simple belief: the best investment decisions emerge when strategy, underwriting, modeling and diligence operate as one system.
Strategy sets direction. Underwriting defines the logic. Modeling expresses it. Diligence confirms it.
Clients bring me in when they need faster, clearer decisions tied to this unified chain — including integrating or validating AI‑generated assumptions within real‑world underwriting, modeling and diligence logic. I plug in wherever needed, but many engage me through modeling because it’s the clearest expression of the judgment behind acquisitions and development execution.
My background spans institutional underwriting, advanced Excel modeling, and a tech‑aware foundation shaped through early IT roles, GE Six Sigma A&D‑focused Policies & Procedures initiatives, CRM workflow development for post‑GFC SFR platforms, and proptech collaboration on AI‑native homebuilding, underwriting, site planning and diligence systems. Decades across cycles, asset classes and capital stacks have shaped the pattern recognition that makes plugging in wherever needed both natural and efficient — the earned versatility that drives clarity, reliability and repeatability.

🎖️ Top 1% on Upwork | Former SBA Underwriter & Loan Broker | 10+ Years | 150+ Projects on Upwork only
🚀 I build lender-ready business plans and financial models that actually get deals approved, from SBA and USDA loans to investor funding and immigration visas. As a former SBA underwriter and active loan broker, I know exactly what lenders look for and I design every plan and model to meet real underwriting standards.
What I do
📌 SBA-compliant business plans (7(a), 504, microloans), investor-ready plans, franchise, landlord, export, strategic, continuity, and immigration plans (E-2, L-1A, EB2-NIW, EB-5, H-1B, O-1)
📊 Full 5-year financial projections, 3-statement models, investor-ready financial models with cap tables, and SBA acquisition models for business purchases
🧮 Feasibility studies and business plans for SBA and USDA Business & Industry loans, including financial projections, market analysis, and economic impact assessments
💼 Buyer-side financial analysis, business valuations, Quality of Earnings reports and reviews, seller add-back and earnings review, cash flow and DSCR/debt service analysis, and post-close forecasting
📣 Pitch decks, executive summaries, CIM/OMs, investor teasers, and consulting for SBA loan readiness and funding strategy
My work is designed to be clear, defensible, and easy for lenders, investors, and management teams to follow, with rush delivery (including 72-hour options) available when timelines are tight.
Why clients work with me
Most business plan writers and modelers guess what lenders and investors want; I work with them daily and build your package around real SBA, USDA, and private lending standards. I focus on decision-grade analysis, realistic and defensible assumptions, and clean Excel models that support acquisition planning, financing strategy, and ongoing management.
Funding and approval outcomes
My work has supported SBA 7(a) loans from 350K to 5M+, USDA Business & Industry loan approvals, investor raises including a recent 5MM SaaS deal, and multiple immigration visa approvals. Examples include a 600K SBA 7(a) loan for a deli, a 1MM+ SBA loan for a pickleball franchise, and a 4MM USDA-backed storage facility loan, along with numerous lender-ready and investor-ready packages from day one.
If you need a business plan, financial model, feasibility study, or acquisition analysis that can stand up to lender and investor scrutiny and move your deal toward approval, message me and let’s discuss your project.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Exactly what we needed for our investor presentation... saved us weeks of work." — Recent Denver Developer.
I help Multifamily and Townhome GPs and Syndicators take messy property data and turn it into a lender-ready pitch deck in 24 to 48 hours. I don't just 'design slides'—I act as your Pre-Underwriter. I recently helped a GP re-underwrite a 36-unit acquisition, normalizing expenses to 35% to secure a 1.30 Day 1 DSCR for an 85% LTC bridge loan request.
