• Develop distribution schedules and liquidity/runway projections (13-week and longer-range)
• Standardize modeling templates to improve repeatability and controls
• Provide crisp, decision-ready insights to senior leadership

4) Affordable Housing Underwriting & Transaction Support (LIHTC-focused)

• Oversee underwriting for development and acquisition opportunities
• Improve underwriting tools and submission processes for tax credit transactions
• Lead financial diligence, data room readiness, and documentation hygiene
• Support debt, tax credit equity, and transaction closing activities
• Coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders through execution

5) FP&A Leadership

• Own consolidated budgeting and forecasting
• Convert property-level data into corporate dashboards and management reporting
• Drive variance analysis, risk identification, and forecasting accuracy improvements
• Implement QA standards and financial controls across models and reporting
• Coach junior talent and raise the technical modeling bar

Ideal Profile

• 6–10 years of experience in real estate private equity, structured finance/credit, infrastructure investing, corporate development, real estate investment banking, or REIT/real assets FP&A
• Expert-level Excel skills with the ability to build models from a blank sheet
• Hands-on experience with: three-statement models, 13-week cash flow, LBO, portfolio roll-ups, waterfalls, and multi-tranche debt structures
• Strong understanding of capital stack mechanics and return metrics (IRR, MOIC, DSCR, ICR)
• Executive-ready communication: can explain complex outputs clearly and concisely
• Real estate background helpful, but high-caliber technical modelers from adjacent verticals are welcome

Technical Strengths

If you want a company that rewards your effort, invests in your growth, and makes winning feel like a celebration, let's talk.

Who We Are

GG Homes is a fast-growing real estate investment company and one of Southern California's leading cash buyers. We've built our success on delivering real solutions to homeowners while creating an environment where high performers can truly thrive.

Here's what makes us different: we believe in celebrating wins as much as we believe in working hard to achieve them. Whether it's team trips to Cabo after record months, Din Tai Fung lunches when we crush our goals, or sunset yacht dinners with the team, we make sure success feels rewarding—not just financially, but personally too.

The Role: Sales Development Representative (Lead Manager / Acquisitions Specialist)

This is a high-activity, phone-first role for communicators who are quick on their feet and relentless in their follow-through. As an SDR, you are the engine that powers GG Homes' acquisition pipeline. You'll be cold calling potential sellers, managing and qualifying inbound leads, and setting high-quality appointments for our Acquisitions Managers to close.

You won't be waiting for deals to come to you—you'll be creating them. Every call is a chance to build rapport, uncover motivation, and move a potential deal forward. The best SDRs treat their lead lists like a business, attack every dial with purpose, and take pride in the quality of the appointments they set.

What You'll Actually Do

• Cold call property owners from targeted lead lists to generate seller interest and uncover motivated leads
• Qualify inbound leads quickly and accurately, identifying the right sellers for our Acquisitions team
• Set high-quality, confirmed appointments for Acquisitions Managers—quality matters as much as quantity

• Relentless and resilient – you make 100 calls, bounce back from 99 rejections, and come back the next day ready to go again
• Competitive and self-motivated – you track your own numbers and always try to beat yesterday's performance
• Organized and disciplined – you follow up on every lead, keep your CRM clean, and never let a deal fall through the cracks
• Hungry to grow – you want to learn the business, sharpen your skills, and eventually move into a closing role
• Coachable – you take feedback seriously, implement it fast, and improve continuously

Your Experience

• Background in phone-based sales, customer service, or lead generation—real estate, solar, insurance, financial services, home improvement, automotive, or similar industries preferred
• Demonstrated ability to hit call volume and conversion targets in a high-activity environment
• Experience handling objections and keeping prospects engaged even when they push back
• Comfortable working with CRM tools—Salesforce experience is a plus
• Strong verbal communication and active listening skills
• No real estate experience required—if you're driven, coachable, and ready to work, we'll train you on everything else

Compensation

We offer the best of both worlds: a solid base draw for stability, plus uncapped commission so your hard work translates directly into significant income.

• Base Salary Draw of $60,000 + Uncapped Commission Structure
• Realistic First-Year OTE: $100,000–$150,000 (for consistent performers)
• Top Performers Earn $400,000+ (we have team members doing it right now)
• No commission ceiling—your earning potential is completely in your control

This is a real opportunity to build financial freedom and fast-track your career in real estate.

• Ongoing Training & Development – learn from experienced closers and continuously sharpen your skills
• Clear Path to Promotion – top SDRs are first in line when Acquisitions Manager seats open up
