Day in the Life of an Acquisitions Manager<\/h2>\n

Current Firm<\/h4>\n

This firm is a vertically integrated real estate private equity firm that develops, owns, and operates multi-family, industrial, office, and mixed-use spaces. With multiple offices across the country, this firm owns and manages 140+ properties and employs over 900 real estate professionals.<\/p>\n

Early Career Path<\/h4>\n

Immediately after completing his Bachelors, this professional worked on structured products in commercial mortgage-backed securities. In 2008 he shifted to the advisory side and worked as a mortgage broker. After a couple of years, he decided he wanted to get closer to the asset side and returned to school to get his MBA with a concentration in Real Estate. After graduating he was a portfolio manager for 16 months before transitioning to acquisitions.<\/p>\n

Typical Week<\/h4>\n

This professional\u2019s team juggles several acquisitions at a time, on any given week he is sourcing transactions, talking to brokers, beginning the underwriting process, and analyzing metrics he and his company value. His team pitches their acquisition deals internally to their insurance, accounting, and debt teams, etc to get everyone on board with the project before they pitch the deal to the Investment Committee. If the deal is approved, his team works on due diligence and closing before the property is transitioned to their property management team.<\/p>\n

Potential Career Paths<\/h4>\n

Someone just starting in acquisitions can expect an analyst role where they run numbers and talk through inputs. Depending on the firm, they may get to visit the property and attend some deal dinners.<\/p>\n

Those with experience or a graduate degree can expect to start at a level sourcing deals. As they gain experience, they start to cover a region, say an entire state, before being promoted to a larger region, like the mid-Atlantic. The highest step an acquisitions professional can reach is to be a member of the firm\u2019s executive committee or Chief Investment Officer.<\/p>\n
