About us

You are probably familiar with what we are building at CoreCast, but did you know we also provide direct analyst services and institutional-grade, excel-based financial models?

In June 2024, I started The Fractional Analyst as a way to provide on-demand analyst services in the real estate industry. Friends and colleagues reached out and asked if I would provide analyst work for them similar to what I was doing for DR Horton and my prior employers. I had a choice between the W2 and doing my own thing and well… here I am.

After 16 months, we have grown to a team of four analysts, three partners, a designer and five software engineers. I’m grateful for the progress and excited about what 2026 holds for our growing community.

Today, we provide the following:

Our team of financial analysts is currently comprised of

• Spencer Vickers (founder - Florida)

• Ronnie Hein (Director - Michigan)

• Marigny Gaffney (Associate - Louisiana)

• Sebastian Grupa (Associate - Michigan)

All of us have years of experience in financial modeling, investment deck design, market research, and financial analyst work.

We give real estate teams the power of full-time financial expertise—without the full-time cost. As fractional analysts, we step in as an extension of your team, delivering the clarity, confidence, and insights you need to move deals forward. Our flexible approach means you get access to high-level analysis and reporting when you need it, without the burden of a permanent hire.

Numbers should drive decisions, not slow them down. We take complex financial data and translate it into clear, actionable insights. From underwriting acquisitions and evaluating refinancing opportunities to building models that test different investment strategies, we make sure you always have reliable numbers to guide your next move. We also streamline recurring tasks like lender reports and investor updates—freeing you to focus on sourcing deals and building relationships.

Because we specialize in real estate, we know the details matter. Whether you’re working on multifamily, commercial, or new development projects, we tailor our analysis to your property type and investment strategy. Our experience ensures that your models reflect both market realities and investor expectations, giving you tools you can actually use in negotiations and decision-making.

We’re built for flexibility. Some clients bring us in for a single project, like underwriting or building an investor presentation. Others rely on us as an ongoing financial partner, seamlessly integrated into their day-to-day operations. No matter the scope, we deliver senior-level expertise that adapts to your business—helping you scale faster, operate smarter, and compete with confidence.

At the end of the day, we help you tell the story behind the numbers. Our goal is to empower you with analysis you can trust and communication that resonates with your stakeholders. With us in your corner, you can focus on growth while knowing your financial foundation is strong, accurate, and built to support every decision.

Upgraded Models – If you have already downloaded one of our financial models in the past – free or premium – you are going to want to take another look. Upgrades include fixed/floating rate financing, improved equity waterfall, better investment dashboards/IC-ready cutsheets, and more.

Our off-the-shelf financial models put powerful tools in your hands—without the heavy price tag. Designed specifically for real estate professionals, these ready-to-use models give you the clarity and confidence of institutional-level analysis at a fraction of the cost. Every model is built with the same attention to detail we bring to custom work, but streamlined for quick, affordable access.

Affordability is at the core of our approach. Each model is priced under $250, making them accessible to solo investors, small firms, and growing teams who need professional-grade tools without the barrier of steep software or consulting fees. Alongside these models, we also provide several free resources to help you get started—because we believe everyone should have access to the fundamentals of smart real estate analysis.

Our library covers a wide range of needs. Whether you’re underwriting a multifamily acquisition, testing development scenarios, or evaluating cash flow on a small property, we’ve built models that work across asset types and deal sizes. Each template comes structured, tested, and easy to adapt, so you can plug in your numbers and start analyzing in minutes.

Clarity and usability set our models apart. We know that many templates on the market are overly complex or poorly documented, leaving you frustrated instead of empowered. Ours are designed to be intuitive, with clean structures and built-in guidance that make them easy to use even if you don’t have a finance background. You’ll spend less time figuring out the spreadsheet—and more time making decisions.

These models are more than just templates—they’re a launchpad. With the right tools in place, you can underwrite deals faster, communicate more effectively with investors, and grow your business with confidence. Whether you’re brand new to real estate investing or a seasoned operator looking for a reliable toolkit, our affordable models and free resources give you the foundation to succeed.

CoreCast – Real Estate Workflow Automation

CoreCast is the future of real estate analysis—built to take the manual work out of financial modeling, reporting, and research. We’re preparing to release our first production-ready workflows by year-end, giving real estate professionals a faster, smarter, and more reliable way to manage deals and communicate with stakeholders.

At the core of CoreCast is automated financial model building. Instead of spending hours (or days) building and checking Excel files, you can generate accurate, institutional-quality models in minutes. Our first release supports multifamily deals and Excel integration, ensuring a seamless transition from your current workflows into a more efficient, automated system.

We’re also raising the bar on market research. CoreCast combines structured data with intelligent insights to help you understand the landscape around every deal. After the release here in Q4, we’ll be introducing AI-driven research soon that pulls together deep, contextual market knowledge—giving you clarity at a level that used to take weeks of work.

Automated reporting makes communication effortless. From investor updates to lender reports, CoreCast turns raw data into polished outputs that are ready to share. No more scrambling before deadlines or manually formatting presentations—the platform ensures your stakeholders always see the right numbers, in the right format, at the right time.

CoreCast is more than software—it’s a leap forward for how real estate professionals operate. By automating the heavy lifting in analysis, research, and reporting, we give you back time to focus on strategy, relationships, and growth. With our first workflows launching by year-end, CoreCast is set to redefine what it means to work smarter in real estate.
