RE Debt Originations

I'm curious about hearing from those of you who are in the debt origination world, specifically working with larger institutional type deals where your loans are $40M+ (think Pru, Allianz, AIG, New York Life, MetLife) .

I recently moved from a more credit UW role where I completed the UW and presentation after a deal had a signed term sheet and helping them close. Now i'm more focused helping originate new deals on the debt side. I would appreciate any guidance on any of the following:

  • What is your typical process in terms of getting package and thinking through the deal/if you want to spend time on it?
  • How many deals are you often sifting through at a time/how do you get through it all?* Where do you focus your analysis efforts?
  • How much time do you spend on the UW?
  • When/how do you feel comfortable soft quoting a deal?
  • How did you develop in the origination world (helpful advice you've received, words of wisdom)
  • What is the approval process for your deals?
