Developer/Banker Looking for Investors / Joint Ventures

[Vlad Bird]

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I’m excited to introduce myself to this vibrant and knowledgeable community. My name is Vlad, and I work in Real Estate Acquisitions at Goldman Sachs based in the NYC/NJ area. With a strong background in finance, underwriting, and deal structuring, I’m looking to connect with fellow real estate investors and professionals.

About Me:

• Current Role: I work at Goldman Sachs, where I've successfully directed over $1 billion in investments into various real estate products and asset types, including construction loans, equity bridge loans, tax credit equity, preferred equity, and mezzanine debt. I have been instrumental in negotiating term sheets, performing financial underwriting, and conducting due diligence.
• Previous Experience: Private Equity Associate at Republic Developments in Toronto, where I led new project acquisitions and supported existing deals. During my tenure, I contributed to over $750mm in investments across mixed-use development projects and was involved in raising two private equity funds with soft commitments totaling $100 million.


• Skills: Finance, underwriting, deal finding, deal structuring, equity/debt sourcing, architecture, development, and general contracting.

What I’m Looking For:

I’m eager to network with investors on both the General Partner (GP) and Limited Partner (LP) spectrums. My goal is to discuss potential deal investments and find investors interested in some promising opportunities I have in the pipeline. I'm looking for complementary skill sets in architecture, development, and general contracting. 

Deal Criteria:

• 
  Property Types: Multi-family rehab, multi-family condo conversion, office to residential condo conversion, ground-up development, heavy value-add, acquisition/rehab.


• Deal Size: $2-6 million
• 
  Target Returns: 30%+ with a profit margin of $750k+

If you’re an investor interested in the NYC/NJ market, or if you have experience with similar projects and are open to sharing insights or collaborating, I’d love to connect. Feel free to send me a message or reply to this post.

Looking forward to engaging with you all and building some great partnerships!

Best,
Vlad
