Starwood Capital Asset Management Interview

Hey all-

Got a 30 min phone interview with an Associate on their Asset Management team. Position is in SF. Here's what I assume: questions about background, why real estate, why Starwood, walk me through resume, some basic RE technicals like explain a cap rate, walk me through DCF, explain NOI, explain a JV, etc. Any suggestions or things to look out for?

I doubt you'll get "what is an NOI?" for an associate-level role, or at least I hope not. I would be more prepared for the "how have you personally made an impact" or "explain a time you had to do X" type of questions.
