The answer that got me through interviews when I was going through the process was talking about investing $100M in class B Multifamily apartment complexes in stable cities, $50M in multi-tenant industrial buildings in the sun belt, and $50M in office because the basis is incredibly low today. Make sure you know what states/locations you’d want to invest in and be able to explain why you’re picking certain product types in those locations.
You can definitely buy an island for that much money. Maybe multiple islands.
I’d probably go the island route.
It’s just a question to see what you like on the market. Do research on what markets are performing well in certain asset classes? Have fun with it and think about how a real estate wants to deploy money.
My answers was MF in secondary and tertiary markets focused on syndicators who were too aggressive during the pandemic, sale leaseback strategy since it’s less intensive and safe cash flow, and industrial data centers as power demands grow. I backed each argument with data and talked about which markets I would focus on using market data to explain why I chose those markets.
This question will come up every interview so have it down
