I wanna be a sponge
Incoming SA at a REPE shop on the east coast, good brand name firm and would love to get a return offer at the firm. Worked in the RE space but not on the REPE Acquisitions side would love any advice for what I can do this next semester whether it be learning skills, habits, insights and or networking so I can be the best SA possible coming in. Have a pretty light semester ahead so I want to be an absolute sponge a learn as much as possible.
Thanks in advance.
(1) find the best RE modeling course (2) find a property you would theoretically be interested in acquiring if you had say $100M in the bank or whatever the size of a typical purchase of your firm is (3) model it out in granular detail and understand how everything flows (4) create an IC memo and scrutinize it for 2 months at least
I think the best thing you can do (and is 100% free) is to become an excel wizard and know all of the shortcuts. I assume you can already talk about cap rates, discount rates, etc so just read CRE news. CRE Daily is a good news letter that will help you there.
Pretty sure there’s a strain for that
I like the thirst for knowledge, and maybe I’m in the minority here, but this is a bit dramatic. To be a good to above average SA, it really doesn’t matter how much knowledge you “soak in”. Be early, stay late. Do what is asked of you correctly. Ask questions. Do a lot of networking and get to know people and let them get to know you. You don’t need to be a know it all to get a return offer
