Thoughts on multifamily SBL underwriting position in NYC

what are your thoughts on being a FHA multifamily SBL underwriting analyst at a company like jll, cbre, CW in NYC?

Loans are 1-5m so I would have to guess you only see very small properties and outer borough properties in NYC. most borrowers would be individuals / "mom/pop" investors I imagine.

is it a good position, are the exit opportunities very limiting, etc? would it be difficult to transition into an equity role?

how easy or difficult is it to transition into a bigger/ more complex lending position at a lifeco or bank from there?

I don't know much about the SBL lending industry in NYC so any thoughts on if it would be a good position career wise would be very helpful.
