Job description

F Street is a Milwaukee-based investment firm with a track record of success across multiple industries, with a primary focus on real estate-related investment products. Our team is made up of driven, experienced professionals who are passionate about creating exceptional results for our investors and for themselves. We move fast, think big, and reward those who hustle.

We are seeking for an Acquisitions Associate to join the Development team. Since 2009, F Street has built an $850+ million portfolio of 60+ properties across 14 states, and this is a front-line seat in that machine. You’ll touch nearly every deal that comes through the firm, from the first look at a broker’s offering memorandum to the closing table.

This is not a back-office modeling role. Our acquisitions team stays close to the deal. You’ll be expected to form an opinion on every opportunity that crosses your desk, back it up with numbers, and help the team move fast on the ones that fit. Because we’re lean and operator-led, your work carries real weight from day one: models built here inform actual investment decisions.

// WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Source and screen acquisition opportunities across F Street’s target asset classes, focused on industrial and multifamily, working from broker relationships, off-market leads, lenders, direct-to-seller outreach, and the firm’s existing market and investor network.
• Call owners of industrial properties across the United States to build a pipeline of acquisition opportunities.
• Source deals through lenders, bankruptcy filings, and direct-to-seller channels by building target databases and leveraging HubSpot and the internal marketing team to harvest leads efficiently.
• Identify distressed assets: financial distress, physical distress, and market distress.
• Use AI tools (Claude) to build databases against our acquisition criteria, focused on multifamily and industrial real estate in the Midwest and nationwide.
• Work with the investment team to build and stress-test underwriting models and run sensitivity analysis, consistent with F Street’s downside-first underwriting philosophy.
• Prepare market and submarket research to support investment theses.
• Assemble investment committee materials that clearly lay out the deal, the risks, and the return profile.
• Manage due diligence workstreams once a deal is under contract, coordinating with legal, lenders, asset management, and third-party consultants to keep transactions on schedule through closing.
• Feed key underwriting and market findings back to the investment team to keep sharpening how we source and evaluate deals.

// WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN

• 0–3 years of experience. Prior work in real estate acquisitions, investment banking, commercial brokerage, or another transaction-focused role is a plus, not a requirement.
• Background in finance, real estate, economics, or a related field.
• Real financial modeling ability. You can build and audit a pro forma from scratch, not just edit one.
• Comfortable on the phone. A big part of this seat is outreach to owners, brokers, and lenders, and you don’t wait for the lead to come to you.
• Self-directed and detail-oriented under time pressure. You own a piece of the deal rather than waiting to be told what is next.
• Clear writer and communicator. You will help write the materials that convince an investment committee to act.
• Working knowledge of HubSpot or a comparable CRM is a plus.
• Genuinely excited about real estate as an asset class and want to continue learning the business on live deals, not in a training rotation.

// WHY JOIN F STREET?

We don’t just offer a job, we offer a runway for your career and income growth:

• Competitive benefits package and 401(k) match to grow your future
• Apple tech package (MacBook, AirPods, and more)
• Paid Holidays and PTO
• Free parking + state-of-the-art workout facilities
• Stocked office beverages, including coffee, energy drinks, soda, tea, beer, and more
• Get paid in Bitcoin (optional)
• F Street gear to rep the team

At F Street, you will be surrounded by smart, motivated teammates who think big and execute efficiently. You will not be buried three layers deep in approvals — your work makes a meaningful impact for the team and investors.

// COMPENSATION

Base Salary: $50,000 – $65,000 (based on qualifications and experience)

Discretionary Bonus: Annual bonus opportunity tied to individual performance and the deals you help get across the finish line.

// CAREER PATH

This role has a clear path toward Acquisitions Associate → Senior Acquisitions Associate → Director of Acquisitions as the portfolio grows. The Associate joining now gets unusually broad exposure across asset classes, markets, and every stage of the deal lifecycle.

// READY TO BUILD YOUR FUTURE?

If you are ready to take control of your income and build your career with a company that rewards effort, apply today. At F Street, the only limit is how big you are willing to think and how hard you are willing to work.
