Advice: Real Estate Investment Banking Technical Interview

I got a second round interview for a REIB team that specializes in JV Equity recapitalizations, Portfolio Sales, Asset Level Transactions, taking REITs private, and refinancing. I know that's a mouthful hahaha. I'm a senior graduating in May and I know they won't expect me to know everything, but I'm told that this interview will test my technical knowledge. Besides the basic metrics (NOI, cap rates, cash on cash), what should I prep for and what kinds of questions would you ask a kid if you were the Associate conducting the interview? Thanks brothas.
