To my knowledge, most lenders are interested in looking at a stabilized income projection, and obtaining a healthy debt yield and coverage ratio on that income, ensuring that income # can be capitalized at a value that at least re-pays their loan, and that's about it. Trending rents and future forecasts are less interesting to them than asking the simple question of "can my borrower make monthly payments and will the asset be worth enough to pay my loan back in 3/5/7 years, depending on the loan.
If this interview is for a debt fund that is purchasing loans in the secondary market, then that's a little different, but ultimately, you'll need to arrive at a static in-place and stabilized (if it's not already) income for the property, along with its valuation based on comparable cap rates.
Just remember the lender's priority is getting their yield and their money back, not about what IRR the project will return to equity stakeholders.
