May ask you the 5 Cs of credit. Maybe how you would evaluate a certain type of RE deal? Multi-family, Office, Retail, residential condo, etc. answers are fairly easy, you’d look at leverage (lower leverage is more friendly to the bank), Guarantor Support (if any, completion or carve out guaranties are increasingly popular with bigger institutions), Construction timeline (if any, some loans are for already built and stabilized assets), DSCR (a big one, I’d understand this thoroughly), debt yield, or if it is for sale condos/ single family/ resy lots how much there planning to sell them for and at what point bank would be paid back (release prices per unit are set at underwriting stage). Really what they’ll want to understand are do they see you going into an originator role/ relationship manager role which is really more a sales role than anything as you need to develop relationships with Developers, brokers, REPE to get looks at deals. Sounds intimidating but If your at a big enough bank these relationships eventually fall into your lap and it’s not hard to find new ones as everyone has multiple banking relationships and usually bids each project out to multiple banks.
