Single and Multifamily Acquisitions and Development
Hi,
I'm in my senior year at a target university with a solid GPA. I'm extremely interested in working in single and multifamily property acquisitions and development. Does anyone know any REPE firms who would hire for this role out of undergrad?
Thanks
Not trying to dunk on you here, but an essential skill for you to learn as you get into this industry is to figure as much shit out as you can on your own. As an analyst, you'll be expected to do that, all the way up to when you are a principal. There are thousands of REPE firms out there and no one is going to just list them for you, much less go through each one to say whether they hire out of undergrad or not.
There are a number of different threads about that very topic on this message board, although search here does kind of suck. Google will undoubtedly bring you some good answers. Hell, ChatGPT might point you in the right direction at least.
You have to have the mentality of using the resources at your disposal to make things happen, and then, if you do all of that and still can't come to a satisfactory answer, then you can ask specific questions that show you've done your homework.
If you're in the mid atlantic market, there's an old thread on here with a list of firms ranging from allocators / operators to everything in between. IIRC a decent amount of them hire out of undergrad.
Focus on doing two years in banking, learn the skills. Then make the leap.
Unless OP is dead-set on a job at a megafund doing top of market portfolio deals, banking probably isn’t the best play
OP, CRE is right - there are literally thousands of shops (probably a couple hundred worth working for given your background) that hire out of UG
Thousands of shops that will promise him deal flow but he’ll end up on a desk doing property management and disposition work without any technical skills (valuation, modeling, Argus)…
But for sure, you tell him the way!
Is that what happened to you lol
That situation feels like a failure to properly vet the role and firm - not cool if/when that happens but completely avoidable without doing a banking stint
Right, because you'll learn Argus on the job at your IB analyst role.
