They're aggressive in terms of structuring deals and the amount of risk they're willing to take. If you want to be on the debt side, I would bet it's a good place to work.

If you've got real estate experience already, and are reasonably outgoing, you will probably prefer origination (better upside and control in most shops where the origination/underwriting functions are separate). If your experience is limited, underwriting would probably be better for building a fundamental RE skill set.

Melting ice cube, they are going to lose their FHLB membership, which will dramatically increase their cost of funds. The have a highly levered investment grade CMBS platform that will soon go by the wayside. Their balance sheet and cmbs lending platforms are nothing special. Also own some of the Veer condo's in Las Vegas that they can't sell. Hired Citi to field an inbound M&A call this summer. Have had a good amount of employee attrition. They used to look at a lot of creative transaction structure in what I would term the real estate PE space, but have been a tad constrained since they converted to a REIT.

 

We have had a good experience with them and have a good relationship with the originator who covers us. Echoing above, they wont probably win on rate but the will definitely think outside the box on structure for hairy deals. Done a few deals with them, even some ugly stuff where there likely was no second place. They have always executed as promised. Good experiences with both CMBS and bridge programs.
