Exit Opps From a Value-Add Bridge Lending Role

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has any advice or anecdotal evidence regarding exit ops from a value-add bridge underwriting role that focuses on all asset classes (although mostly focuses on MF and industrial these days).

My ultimate goal is to be an owner/operator, and I’m wondering what would serve me best as a next step. Should I look for an acquisitions role/is that a feasible exit op from my current position? Should I look into a masters program? Or perhaps I should try to get my feet wet on the side and buy a small property to get some experience.

For context, I switched to this role after 3 years at a HUD lender, and have only been doing this bridge underwriting for a few months now, although I really enjoy it so far.

Thanks!
