Summer in RE interview

Hello everyone, 

I have an interview for a summer in RE and I would like to arrive well prepared. 

I would like to prepare particularly these questions : 

1. Where would you invest right now ? In 10 years ? 

2. A recent deal (where to find recent deal in RE?)

3. What rising interests rates mean for the RE market ?

Thank you in advance for your help, I have no background in RE so I really need to learn a lot. 

Charlotte

1. You can't really go wrong here. As long as you give a good logical reason to your answer. You can go one of a couple ways: say their asset class because it shows that you believe in their product (make sure you give an actual reason to why or it really just looks like brown-noising then) or you can just mention a product type that you actually believe in. You can say something like "retail/office are offering high yields because of expanding cap rates so now is a good time to invest in them" or "multifamily/logistic centers/medical since they are going to be recession proof and always going to be needed."

2. You can look up on CoStar or just type into google CRE deals

3. It means that acquisitions/dispositions/developments are going to slow down since the cost of debt is making it harder to be profitable on new deals. This will cause cap rates to expand (in theory, we'll see if it actually happens).
