Real Estate Private Equity Shops NYC-> Advice

Hey Guys! I'm going to be a RE Summer Analyst for a shop in Connecticut, but for some reason, it was extremely difficult for me to find one in NYC. I'm going to apply to the more well known PE firms (BX, KKR, Carlyle, TPG, AGASM, etc.) in the future, but I was wondering if you guys know where I could find some shops in the city?

Really vague question, but NYC is a finance city...so yeah it's probably the best in the US. However, keep in mind while headquartered in NYC, most large REPE shops have multiple satellite offices because you generally need physical boots on the ground/acquisitions staff in different regions to source potential deals.

Please don't quote Patrick Bateman.
 

I've heard that a lot of investors don't wanna deal with NYC real estate because of the crazy laws the city has which makes it very complicated to have a competitive advantage in the market.

ooof marone !
 

What kind of question is this? Just like vanilla PE, getting into REPE isn't about what city the fund is in (whether it's in the middle east, London, Chicago, SF, etc.), it's about having the right experience.

I know people who made it to target B-schools after working in MO roles at NYC BBs and they had semi-target undergraduate degrees with less than stellar GPAs. Do you think they would have made it if they worked outside of NYC?

Point taken, and I don't mean to totally dismiss the advantage of being in the center of the universe, but we aren't talking about b-school. If you want to get hired at one of the best opp funds, take a look at the guys who work there and see what kind of experience they had beforehand. They didn't work in MO jobs.
 

Well the B-School topic certainly came out of nowhere.
