RE Lender Rankings

Didn't see this thread anywhere else, so thought it was worth starting up..

What would a rough ranking of the different banks and non-bank lenders be? This includes CMBS, Balance sheet, mezz, etc.

Top tier seems to be BX, Starwood, Oaktree, GS, KKR, JPM, Carlisle, Apollo, etc

What would the 2nd and 3rd tiers be? Any one missing from top tier?

Lenders generally use ROE or some sort of comparable internal metric when reviewing loan profitability on an individual basis or even across a portfolio - But you really can't compare these across the different verticals of lenders because cost of funds vary greatly as well as basically every reserve requirement metric, since each organization has unique holding structures and what not. 

EDIT: Meant for this to be a thread reply not necessarily to your comment but still fits
