Buyside Analyst - Single family
Question: Does anyone have any insight into whether working at a single-family residential company is worth it as a buy-side analyst in their acquisition department? For example, Hudson Advisors has a single-family acquisition arm called Hudson Homes and Amherst Holdings has one as well called Main Street Renewal.
Background: Located in the South. Finance undergrad. 1-5 years working at a relatively small diversified CRE fund (AUM <$2B) where the deal flow has not been good the last few years.
Any advice would be appreciated :)
Curious as well.
Also would be interested to know what thoughts are on a (SFR) land development role with a top developer. Worth it to get your foot in the door? Are skills transferrable if you want to move back to the commercial side?
Worth it compared to what? Unless you setup some comparative narrative, or frame in a career path way.... the answer is sure... it's a legit job (and increasingly popular new institutional asset class).
Not sure why everyone is so afraid of niches and alternative asset classes, they are popular for a reason in the investment management world.
Thanks for your input redever :)
If you asked me 5 years ago I would have said no, but with the move into the sector by large institutional shops, I would say yes.
Could present yourself with a unique background if you ever want to make the move.
Thank you for your input NYYCRE :)
Definitely increases value if personal RE investing is something you want to do (assuming most individual investors start with single family)!
