I got my foot in the door at a well known real estate development firm in a major metro area by bringing the managing director a deal. It took a lot of legwork on my part to formulate the deal package. The tasks I performed ended up being the responsibilities I undertook for the 4 year duration I was at the firm, "uncovering new opportunities". I'd like to switch asset classes from commercial real estate to private equity investment (Private Equity Firm or Venture Capital Firm), particularly in a business development type role where I would act as the preliminary screen for potential deals. Coming from a real estate financial analysis and project management background, my skillset doesn't have as much carryover as I would like to make the switch. However, to compensate for this shortfall, I'd like to bring a firm a deal like I did previously for the real estate development firm I worked for. My question becomes is this possible? and what steps would need to be taken to formulate a deal package?
If someone in this PE forum is thinking about making the switch to RE Development, below is a rough task list I completed in order to bring my managing director a deal package. I'd greatly appreciate the guidance to help get started in the private equity investment world.
