What type of commercial? Multi family, office, retail, hospitality? What’s your prior experience?

I would look for an underwriting analyst at a DUS/Optigo lender (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). It’s a solid first experience in multi family and potentially sets you up for originations or investment sales later on, and they have no issue hiring people with no experience into those positions. Agency loans are somewhat vanilla when it comes to multi family (with exceptions), but Fannie and Freddie are such a big part of the market you’ll get a lot of deal flow. Most of the big guys are in Chicago too. Walker and Dunlop, Berkadia, etc
