[Hiring] Director of Acquisitions @Hudson Residential

Role Description

• Knowing the market: Keep a running read on cap rates, rents, supply, and debt markets in our target metros, and proactively bring ideas for new opportunities.
• Sourcing: Build and run the pipeline. Own relationships with brokers, owners, and lenders across Indiana, Ohio, Northern Kentucky, Michigan, and South Carolina.
• Underwriting: Oversee an Investment Analyst to model the deal: rent comps, expense assumptions, CapEx budgets, debt scenarios, and returns. Pressure-test the business plan with our asset management and Hudson Residential teams before we commit.
• Walking the deal: Get on the road to tour prospective properties in person: walk units, inspect the physical condition, check the submarket, and meet the brokers and sellers face-to-face.
• Winning: Write LOIs, negotiate terms, and set the strategy for best and final. Know when to push and when to walk.
• Getting to the closing table: Quarterback due diligence, third-party reports, financing quotes, and work with outside counsel and lenders so deals close on time and without surprises.
• Telling the story: Write clear investment memos and partner with our investor relations team on offering materials to ensure investors understand why the deal works.
• Developing Talent: Oversee one investment analyst and grow the team as opportunities require.

Qualifications

• 5 to 8 years in multifamily acquisitions, investment sales, or a principal-side investment role.
• You have personally sourced, underwritten, and closed deals, not just supported someone who did.
• You are an expert in Excel, and you understand multifamily benchmarks, KPIs, debt structures, and waterfalls.
• You pick up the phone. Relationships are how you win, and you already have some in the Midwest (a plus, not a requirement).
• You are comfortable working remotely and managing your own time, and you are ready to travel as needed (including overnight trips) to tour properties in person.
• A degree in finance, real estate, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Requirements

• In your first 90 days: you know our portfolio, our process, buy box, and markets; you have met the key brokers in our target metros; and you are underwriting live deals.
• By the end of year one: you have closed a Hudson acquisition you sourced yourself, and the broker community knows to call you first.
• Over time: you are the reason our pipeline is deeper, our underwriting is sharper, and our growth is faster.

Benefits

• Base salary: $140,000 to $175,000, depending on experience.
• Target bonus of 30% to 50% of base, paid through a deal bonus when your acquisitions close. On-target total cash compensation of $195,000 to $262,500.
• Invest alongside us: the opportunity to invest your own money in Hudson deals.
• Health, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with a company match.
• Flexible PTO. Own your results and your schedule.
• Growth budget for education, conferences, and certifications.
• Direct access to the founder and a front-row seat to how a growing investment platform is built.
