Hiring an Analyst vs. Working with Foss

Hiring an in-house commercial real estate analyst typically takes 60 to 90 days to recruit, hire, and onboard, with no guarantee they'll stay long term. Foss embeds an experienced deal team in as little as one day, backed by $5.5+ billion in closed financings, at roughly 50% less than an in-house hire, with no training, no ramp-up, and no turnover risk.
