Kasimir Ratzlaff

Recent graduate from the University of Arizona with a major in Communication and a minor in Marketing. During college, I completed a hands-on marketing project that earned the Cat’s Meow Award for best campaign presentation, recognizing creativity and engagement. I also interned under a real estate broker, gaining exposure to the rollout of VUE @ 2222, a luxury residential development in Austin, and learning firsthand how marketing and development teams bring a property to market. With additional training through the Wharton x Wall Street Prep Real Estate Investing & Analysis Certificate, I’ve developed a strong foundation in strategic communication, branding, and real estate fundamentals—ready to contribute in both creative and analytical roles.

Completed the Wharton x Wall Street Prep Real Estate Investing & Analysis Certificate, culminating in a capstone project that involved underwriting a $72M multifamily acquisition in Texas. Built a full financial model incorporating debt schedules, joint venture waterfalls, and return metrics (IRR, cash-on-cash, equity multiple), and wrote a detailed investment memo outlining the business plan, market analysis, and projected returns—strengthening both my analytical and professional communication skills.
