Career Resources
I would divide the preparation into 2 components: the banking side and the real estate side
On the banking side, valuation (DCF), accounting, accretion dilution questions, thinking about M&A, and then understanding enterprise vs equity value. IRR and NPV.
On the real estate side, alternative valuations (NAV), using cap rates to value, what is and why FFOx and AFFOx are used, what is implied cap rate and why does it matter. How to value a REIT with same store NOI growth (what is NOI).
For practice questions, I used the REIB guide on realestate interviewing(dot)com to get my offer.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key points to consider when preparing for a Real Estate Investment Banking (REIB) interview:
