Results Speak for Themselves
"The Mixed-Use Portfolio Acquisition case study was very similar to what Brookfield gave me in my final round. Having worked through the model beforehand gave me the confidence to walk them through my assumptions without hesitation."
IB Senior Analyst → Brookfield
"I came from an M&A background with little real estate modeling experience. The step-by-step walkthroughs and detailed comments made it possible to build institutional-quality models in just 3 weeks."
M&A Analyst → Blackstone
"Other programs give you
vanilla acquisitions. This one threw development optionality, complex lease-up scenarios, and curveballs I
actually saw in my interviews."

Frequently Asked Questions
How is insidersREPE different from other prep programs?
Most programs teach generic real estate modeling on simplified, made-up cases. We train you on the actual modeling tests top funds use to screen candidates, keeping the same structure, time pressure, and curveballs you'll face in the room. Every model in the Core Program is built and walked through by professionals who are currently working at top REPE funds, not academics or general finance practitioners. We're also the only program that teaches deal discussions: how to actually walk an interviewer through your deals, which is where most technically strong candidates still lose the offer.
Are these really the actual tests these funds use?
Yes. Each case study is a real modeling test used by a top REPE fund to screen candidates. The structure, difficulty and time limits are untouched, which is why members tell us their live tests felt almost identical to what they'd already practiced.
Is this beginner-friendly?
Yes. Every model is built from a blank sheet with step-by-step video and detailed in-cell comments, so you can follow even if you've never built a real estate model. Members have come from IB, M&A, corporate PE, consulting, university, and graduate programs with little RE-specific experience and built institutional-quality models within a few weeks. That said, this isn't a casual intro course. It's built for serious candidates targeting top REPE roles, and it assumes you'll put in the reps.
How quickly will I see results?
Most members work through the full program in 6-8 weeks alongside a full-time job. You don't need to finish everything to feel the difference. After your first 2-3 case studies (roughly 1-2 weeks of focused practice) you'll handle a modeling test and a deal discussion with real confidence. Because access is for life, you can go deep once, then refresh fast the night before any interview.
What if I don't have interviews lined up right now?
That's the best time to start. The candidates who win offers aren't cramming the week before. They built the muscle months earlier. With lifetime access, you prepare at your own pace now and have everything ready the moment recruiting opens. When the test lands in your inbox, you'll have already done it.
Can I see the quality before I buy?
Absolutely. Download Case Study #7, a complete 4-hour megafund modeling test with full formulas, comments and a step-by-step walkthrough, plus a free chapter from the interview guide, all at no cost. It's the same quality as everything inside the program.
Do you offer refunds?
No. Because you get immediate, permanent access to proprietary case studies and real interview materials, all sales are final. That protects the exclusivity of what you're buying, and keeps it out of the hands of the people you're competing against. If you want certainty first, that's what the free Case Study #7 and guide chapter above are for: judge the full quality before you pay a cent.
How do I access the program after I buy?
The moment you purchase, you'll get login details to our secure platform with instant access to every case study, video and guide. No waiting, no shipping. You can start within minutes, and your access never expires.
Do you offer CV reviews or 1:1 coaching?
Sometimes. We still work in REPE ourselves, so we take on CV reviews and individual coaching on a limited, ad hoc basis when our schedules allow. To check current availability, email us at hello@insidersrepe.com.
