RE HF Pods? Do they exist?
Are there any pods that are specific to RE? Trading the entire universe from REITS to Homebuilders and regional banks?

Yes
Saw an insightful post from you on another thread. Thanks for sharing. Would 3-4 years of RE Acquisitions be considered at a RE HF as a career switch, or would I have to get an MBA from a top 5 before interviewing? Never have had any experience with stock. Jealous of everyone’s comp for obv reasons.
MBA does not help for HF recruiting, at least for MMHF.
Could you link to that thread? Guy went anonymous
Funds will literally carve out a niche for you if you are good, especially if your strategy is unique and uncorrelated with other strategies. Like why would they pass on someone who can make good risk adjusted returns? Strategy shouldn’t matter as long as you are profitable.
what are the best RE-focused pods?
also curious
Alyeska REITs
The top ones that comes to mind is Long Pond and Waterfront
For LO, Cohen & Steers is the biggest by far
Are there any notable (successful) CMBS / RMBS / mortgage / REIT pods at the Big 4?
Bump
I know all the major platforms (Citadel/MLP/P72/BAM) have either a real estate pod, or an analyst covering REITs that usually works under a Financials PM. It’s a smaller universe so there are definitely less pods than Consumer for instance, but they exist. I interviewed with a few but recently joined a Financials pod that doesn’t look at REITs.
Bump, curious what the biggest CMBS / mortgage trading pods are
What are ppl's thoughts on focusing on REITs in a MM context? Seems like there are a ton of TMT / consumer pods, but barely any REIT pods. Is there a reason for this?
Yes. Most REIT analysts eat crayons for breakfast though
what's that mean
Think about someone eating crayons and then think about whether you think I am complimenting them
