REIT to REPE sponsor
Hello all! I currently work as an acquisitions analyst at a large public REIT. I started off working in the operations department as a utilities analyst. My question is, do public REITs offer good “experience” (something to show as a sort of track record) when it comes to forming your own REPE/syndication fund. Now I’ve done extensive research into forming syndication so trust me, I know that working at a REIT doesn’t give me all the answers. I’m more concerned with: in the future, if I go to make my own real estate fund, would it appeal to potential LP’s that I have substantial experience in a REIT with an identical asset class? Even further, which department (acquisitions, ops, asset management, FP&A, etc.) would be best with boosting my sponsorship qualities to potential investors?
I sincerely appreciate all your comments and suggestions!!
Thanks so much!
It's valuable knowledge, but if your end goal is to raise your own REPE fund you should get experience on that side as well. Different capital stacks, different ways of funding equity, different risk profiles, etc.
