I usually go for "raypay" and they know exactly what I'm talking about
fuhnance
I pronounce it like "reap", maybe I'm the only one
Nah I'm with you on that too king.
I've never heard someone say this, they just say private equity.
But it's real estate bruv.
It’s understood we’re talking about real estate private equity, but no one that I’ve talked to says, “real estate private equity” every time. They usually just private equity.
Honestly, if someone were to pronounce that acronym as "Reepee" or any other variant in conversation, I'd have to fight like hell not to burst out laughing. The only place I've ever seen "REPE" so fixated or even demarcated so finely is on WSO. Seriously, even the acronym isn't used that much outside of WSO.
You always know if you’re talking to a WSO follower if they say things like “EB” when talking about banking
I honestly feel bad for the IB forum, they are truly in their own world. The funny thing is that all real estate investment activity is generally "private", hence the unique REIT world (only time a real estate acronym is pronounced as a word I can think of).
Making such a big deal about the PE firms that real estate funds/strategies is really a WSO thing for sure. Love see what people say about working for Blackstone on their BREIT product..... I mean, would that be a job in "reepee"???
Does anyone actually use this word in verbal conversation?
Suppose if I had to I'd stick with 'Reap'...I'm a Reaper...I kinda like the sound of that if I'm being honest.

I've never heard anyone outside of this site use the acronym.
Hah true. At work it’s usually PERE (pear-ri) and that refers the publications/organization....REPE is a made up term by college kids on this site. Even then no one says “I work in PERE” but more “Lets use this/that figure published by PERE”
