Real Estate Analyst Interview Question:

Explain what do you think is the most important statement of a company?

This is more of a debt side question you would get when looking at tenant quality. You want to look at the cash flow statement to understand how the company makes money and generates cash flow. It will also allow you to analyze growth prospects and market share. Of course the Income Statement (Revenue and Expenses) and the Balance Sheet are very important also. When it comes to analyzing key ratios and debt structure look at the balance sheet. But the real estate industry is about Cash and having the ability to generate cash is king.
