Mortgage to PE
Fairly new to the industry with only one year of experience. I took a student-managed real estate investment fund at my local university this past semester and really enjoyed analyzing deals, understanding the JV and waterfall. I think PERE is my target in NYC. I’m currently in a SE city and finishing up a graduate certificate in RE. I’m 30 fwiw.
I am considering doing a summer internship with Colliers Mortgage and wanted to know how I could use this experience to get into PERE. Or, how to position myself to land a job in PERE.
Transitioning from a role in mortgage to a position in Private Equity Real Estate (PERE) is a strategic move that requires careful planning and positioning. Based on the most helpful WSO content and insights from previous WSO threads, here are some steps and strategies to consider:
Leverage Your Current Experience and Education:
Maximize Your Internship at Colliers Mortgage:
Build a Strong Network in PERE:
Tailor Your Resume and LinkedIn Profile for PERE:
Seek Mentorship and Advice:
Consider Further Education If Necessary:
Apply Strategically:
Remember, transitioning into PERE, especially in a competitive market like NYC, requires patience, persistence, and a proactive approach to networking and skill development.
