Based on previous WSO threads, Walton Street is a top shop with a very strong analyst program. Historically, this program has led to exit opportunities at other top REPE funds, such as Centerbridge. They have a significant presence in the middle market space, particularly from DC to Philly, and have made well-timed bets in this area. Walton Street has a lot of exposure in hospitality and retail sectors.

In terms of reputation, they are considered a strong player in the industry, especially in the middle market space. They have a history of working with notable sponsors and have a solid track record in the real estate sector.

In terms of rep I think a lot of their deals make national articles which I dont think many major guys do and they played a role w/ Horton. In terms of a counter-party they're pretty good and open to a lot of different structures. I will note I underwrote a couple deals with them that got pretty hairy and not really feasible, about a year later I found out Horton had ripped through that portfolio and took everything that was feasible and left them with the rest, take that how you want.

 

I got a critique on their Reg D offerings if you wanted that. But I'm curious why you're interested. 

 

Horton ripped through their portfolio and took everything that was feasible? Lol fucking Horton.
