State government real estate advisory - need advice!

Hi all

First time posting in this subforum (usually lurk around IB as that's where I'm coming from). I've recently been offered a state government role in real estate portfolio strategy. Basically advising the government on financing, asset allocation, accommodation strategies, asset recycling initiatives and capital planning solutions.

Problem is - I'm sort of coming into this a bit blindfolded. I don't have any RE/strategy background and wouldn't know where to start in all honesty. The job does require some modelling which I have exposure to but not from a RE perspective, let alone from a government perspective. Would something of this nature be modelling intensive?

Where can I find tools/info to help me understand a bit more about the government RE space from a strategy consulting angle? All the modules I've seen are taken from a REPE/REIT and infra fund perspective.

Many thanks!
