Hire the Best Underwriters
in the United States

With three decades of real estate experience and $22B+ underwritten across 38K residential units, 1.4K hotel keys and 13.5M commercial SF, I help investors, developers, sponsors, operators and proptech teams turn complex assumptions into clear, actionable frameworks that surface risks and align capital realities. Typical engagements include acquisition and development underwriting, GP/LP waterfalls, pro forma modeling, assumption validation, investment materials and fund or portfolio stress testing. Whether validating an early concept, shaping a business plan or supporting a complex investment, I connect strategy → underwriting → modeling → diligence as one system — applying institutional-grade judgment throughout. Strategy sets direction, underwriting defines the logic, modeling expresses it, and diligence confirms it. That perspective is built on full‑cycle real estate investment experience, advanced Excel modeling fluency and sustained technology awareness — from GE Six Sigma A&D workflows and policy/process development to CRM workflow design for post‑GFC SFR platforms and proptech collaboration on AI‑assisted homebuilding, underwriting, site planning and diligence systems. Decades across asset classes and cycles have resulted in repeatable workflows, proven frameworks and a deep library of tools that help clients move from uncertainty to clarity faster.

My experience encompasses all asset classes with an emphasis on multifamily, retail, SFR, and tiny homes development. I have been involved in multiple transactions and DD and underwritten myriad transactions. I assist small to medium owners, developers, syndicators and investors in securing debt and equity and issuing the required documents and financials that lenders request. I underwrite properties and build proformas that provide visibility and assist my clients in evaluating business decisions. In addition, I'm involved in all facets of equity raising including creating slide deck presentations, partnership agreements, returns distribution (waterfall), and general counseling. I have access to multiple real estate software such as Argus, Costar, John Burns and RCA of which I can extract data such as precedent transactions, demographics comparable assets, and much more. One of my strong suites is helping Tiny Home and SFR developers kick start and scale up their businesses. I spent 3 years as an FP&A manager at a fast-growing startup, worked for a Miami-based developer and retail investor before moving to American Landmark, a leading multifamily owner based out of Tampa. I'm currently working as a Principal at a corporate VC fund which is part of a multinational publicly-traded company. I'm regarded for my ability to drive significant top and bottom-line results, conduct in-depth analyses, and draw metric-based conclusions. Throughout my career, I applied my strategic thinking and creativity to find solutions for multifaceted problems and develop new services. Having worked in the financial services, I developed a strong grasp of the business and collaborated with a variety of stakeholders to satisfy the needs of all parties involved. I'm fluent in Spanish and Hebrew.

I build financial projections that get SBA loans approved. I spent 12 years on the lender side of the desk, where my team closed 1,500+ SBA loans, and today I run ProjectionHub, where we build the financial projections and business plans that underwriters say yes to. 📊 𝙰 𝙵𝙴𝚆 𝙽𝚄𝙼𝙱𝙴𝚁𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙼𝙰𝚃𝚃𝙴𝚁 ✅ 1,500+ SBA loans closed during my 12 years running an SBA lending program ✅ Grew a small business loan fund from $100K to more than $50M lent ✅ 1,000+ custom financial models and financial projections delivered since 2012 ✅ 50,000+ founders have used ProjectionHub's financial projection templates and tools ✅ Clients approved for millions in SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 financing ⭐ Here is what a recent Upwork client said: "We found Adam, and what a blessing it was! He went WAY above and beyond our expectations. The lender we are working with was blown away at the critical information they received from us, which allowed our process to progress easily and much faster." (Curtis S., SBA loan financial projections) 🏦 𝚆𝙷𝚈 𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙳𝙴𝚁𝚂 𝚂𝙰𝚈 𝚈𝙴𝚂 Most financial projections fail at the bank for one reason: they were built by someone who has never read a projection the way an underwriter reads one. I have. I approved and declined SBA loan applications for over a decade, so every financial projection I build starts from the question the lender will actually ask: does the cash flow cover the debt? That means DSCR, break-even, and coverage ratios are not an afterthought in my financial projections. They are the spine. ProjectionHub is also the company behind 100+ CPA-developed, industry-specific financial projection templates, so your financial projections start from proven revenue logic for your industry, not a blank spreadsheet. We have built financial models across healthcare, construction, real estate, e-commerce, SaaS, retail, restaurants, and franchises. 📈 𝚆𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙸 𝙳𝙾 ▸ Financial projections for SBA loans: 5-year, 3-statement financial projections with DSCR, break-even, and coverage ratio analysis built for SBA 7(a), SBA 504, and bank underwriting ▸ Business plans: lender-ready business plans with integrated financial projections, market research, use of funds, and staffing plans ▸ Financial models for investors: revenue models, unit economics, and investor-grade financial projections for pre-seed through Series A raises ▸ Acquisition financial projections: pro forma financial projections and debt service analysis for business acquisitions ▸ SBA loan prequalification: document review, maximum SBA loan sizing, and direct introductions to best-fit SBA lenders ▸ Financial model review: validating the assumptions in your existing financial model or financial projections before they reach a lender or investor 🤝 𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙸 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙺 𝚆𝙸𝚃𝙷 Founders applying for SBA loans, buyers acquiring a business with SBA or bank financing, startups preparing investor-grade financial projections, and existing businesses expanding with new debt. If your deal needs financial projections a credit committee will trust, that is my lane. 📋 𝙷𝙾𝚆 𝙸𝚃 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙺𝚂 1. Send me your loan or raise details: loan type, target amount, timeline 2.
