Debt Side Exit Opps

Two-part question here:

  1. Is it easier to transition from debt-to-equity or from equity-to-debt?

  2. Does bank, LifeCo, or debt fund lending set you up better for the equity side?

I am interested in both debt and equity and would like to try out both in my career.

 

Easier to go from equity to debt.

Debt that sets you up best for equity side would be high yielding debt meaning bridge pref or mezz, construction pref / mezz, distressed debt, etc. The Capital source doesn’t matter (although it’s likely a debt fund) - if you’re doing those types of deals you’ll be in a good spot
