Hi! I just got accepted to Ross MBA, I have a background in real estate in Latin America and I would like to move to private equity in real estate and stay working in the states. At first I thought about IB in real estate but I think the hours will be better at REPE without sacrificing much salary? Am I correct? Can someone share their experiences? Thanks!!!

I moved from development to REPE. I was an analyst at a large development firm mostly focused on acquisitions so the work was I doing was comparable to what an REPE analyst would have done. The fund I’m at now invests mostly in development or heavy value add projects in the same market so my understanding of the development process / local entitlement rules / market knowledge etc was helpful.
What is your background in development? If it was an acquisitions / capital raising focused role the skill set is transferable, whereas if it was more on the execution end (design, entitlement, construction etc) this will be more difficult. I’d identify what markets you want to work in and start networking heavily with the funds in these locations to see if you can land a Summer Associate position.
That sounds awesome! My background is very similar to yours but outside the US. May I ask which funds should I focus on? Thanks!!!
Work through the PERE100 list and identify which ones invest in ground up developments. Use LinkedIn to filter through these funds and find Ross MBA alumni. Start networking with them to learn more about the industry and how they think you may be able to break in.
Thank you son much for the info! I will go through that list!!
