LIHTC tax credit underwriting

Hi. Is anyone familiar with CRE tax credit groups (DUS lenders)? I am currently working for one of the big banks as a credit analyst in business banking which is fine but I'm looking for bigger deals to work on. I have an interview with the real estate group of one of the big DUS lenders for an underwriting position in their tax credit group. My understanding is that the deals are bigger and the pay is much better in specialized lending but a friend of mine who is an investment banker is trying to warn me off the tax credit LOBs; says those deals are a pain in the *ss having to deal with GSEs and the state LIHTC authorities. Any thoughts?

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”
