Private Equity Real Estate Interview Mental Math Questions (& Answers) // As real estate continues to become more and more institutionalized, the expectations of incoming analysts at private equity real estate firms have risen higher and higher over the last few years.
At this point, a solid understanding of real estate finance is absolutely critical to landing a real estate analyst position in the commercial real estate industry.
And while most private equity real estate firms will administer some sort of Excel real estate financial modeling exam during the interview process, where you’ll have to sit down and build a real estate financial model in Excel based on a sample case study and assumptions, some firms will also want to test how you think on your feet in conversation during the oral part of the interview, as well.
While these questions generally test your knowledge of the main key real estate finance calculations, some of the most commonly asked questions around these topics can get pretty tricky.
So to help with this if you find yourself asked a tough real estate finance question on the fly (without access to Excel), in this video, we’ll talk through three of the most common mental math interview questions covered in private equity real estate interviews (outside of a timed Excel exam), sample questions you might be asked on each of these topics, and the answers and logic behind each.

Great test for a lawyer turned CRE agent. Proud that I got 3 out of 4 correct. I missed the one on the % increase of the of the noi. I thought the answer would be the same % but I failed to calculate the % of the CAP rate increase and instead answered 1%.

Hey Justin, thanks very helpful. I was asked during an interview what’s the CoC for a deal yielding 10% with 50% leverage with a cost of debt of 5%. Any ideas where I can find some similar contents about tricky interview questions or mental calculations ? Thanks, Flo

Is it 7.5%?
@sahibgreat
@sahibgreat 2 года назад
@@aaronjung1886 Shouldnt it be 15%? I am not too sure but, assuming property value to be 100, our cash = 50, leverage = 50, interest paid = 2.5 (5% of 50), income = 10. 10-2.5(return after interest paid) = 7.5, coc = 7.5/50 = 15%.

Hey Justin, I was curious: do the complexity of these types of technical questions change depending what stage in your career you’re at? For example, do interns get asked the same questions as someone entering their third position, etc? Thanks for all the helpful vids!
@BreakIntoCRE
@BreakIntoCRE 3 года назад
Hey Nicolas, definitely - intern questions are generally the easiest, and full-time analyst and associate positions are generally the most difficult. Once you start to get to the director/manager level, it starts to become much more about your experience and what you've done, so questions like this tend to stop once you get to that stage. Glad to hear you're finding the videos helpful!

What is the best route to become real estate developer?
@eazynosteroidz3074
@eazynosteroidz3074 3 года назад
Hey brother, In 28 and graduating with BS Finance. I want to get into CRE. For someone my age who has been self-employed up until now, do you suggest I start working, or finish my Masters in Real Estate Dev. My line of thinking is this, at 28 with a BS, I feel a bit behind the ball than those who graduated at 21-22. If I graduate with a Masters at 29 then I'd feel ahead of the ball. What are your thoughts?

Haha I’m 28 now in the same boat. I’m planning on getting my RE license and pretty much being a glorified acquisitions manager for commercial buyers until I have enough experience to raise my own capital. It’s been like 2 years. What’d you end up taking up

@@eazynosteroidz3074 awesome bro! yeah I’m going to hang my license at a brokerage like exp where the splits aren’t too crazy. Really planning on just training myself like an analyst would be trained at a firm. If I have to pay for a mentor then so be it but the free content on the channel has been awesome. Once I know I can spot a good deal I’m going to spend a whole week just talking to buyers, getting their criteria and going after whatever fits their buy box.
