Found a great list from @Jakesnake1" : Looking for more (debt in particular, as he did a great job with equity)

reit-dedicated LOs include - RREEF, C&S, CBRE Clarion, LaSalle, CenterSquare, Adelante. 
Traditional LOs all have pretty large RE funds (i.e. T Rowe, BlackRock, American Century, Principal)

REIT-Specific Funds - Long Pond, Waterfront, Heitman, Security Cap, v3, 40 North, AEW, Wesley, Starwood.

As mentioned above, many of the big guys have pockets of RE money and RE-dedicated PMs..Citadel, Millenium, Surveyor, Balyasny, Alyeska, Weiss, etc.

REPE shop.  I believe the old adage of, "do you want to play golf, or do you want to fuck around", applies here.  If you want to invest in real estate actively on your own account, then go do REPE and learn how to actually do it, but if you want to give your money to someone else to invest directly or trade REITs then go to a HF.  Several HFs do touch asset level transactions, but if you're trying to build a strong foundation then you'd be hard pressed to top time spent at a top REPE shop actually participating in the RE markets.

I slightly disagree and agree.
