Real Estate

Considering whether I want to get into RE acquisitions/ development (A&D) or more of an REIT / REPE analyst role upon graduation.

Can anyone help me understand some roles of each positions, I know REIT/ REPE is heavier on the finance side, but is RE A&D also associated heavily with finance? Do REIT/ REPE analysts have anything to do with sourcing or closing deals or just modeling and crunching numbers?

Thanks for the help!

So they aren't necessarily different things. REIT and REPE are just public and private sources of capital respectively, and even some REITs are private (look at BX). In those structures they acquire and develop properties. Some REITs specialize in mortgages, some do pure acquisitions, others do a hybrid of acquisitions and development. Similarly, REPE (and Dev shops fall under this technically this if their capital stack is sourced privately) develop and acquire or specialize in mortgages if they are private credit. There really isn't a difference except legal structure in REPE and REIT and how they get their investors and then acquisitions and development are just investment strategies within those companies.
