REPE investment committee memo format

Hi everyone - I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the typical format for an investment committee memo. Im interviewing for REPE acquisitions and if I get through first round, I'm pretty sure I'll have to do a case study. thanks

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”

Every group has their own unique format, but here is some of the information generally included (order varies from group to group):

Investment Overview / Property Description / Business Plan / Rationale Sponsorship Deal Structure / Cash Flow Waterfall Sources & Uses Underwriting Assumptions / Returns / Sensitivities Risks & Mitigants Supporting Schedules (market info / trends, comps, cash flow / waterfall projections, location maps, demographics, photos / renderings, etc.)

This is not an exhaustive list; it really just reflects what I've seen during my few years in the industry. Hope it is helpful.
