Description
Get an inside look at how a real estate lender protects and grows its portfolio as Lima One Capital's Asset Management Intern, working across AM teams to gain hands-on experience managing performing loans and overseeing active construction projects. You'll get direct exposure to portfolio monitoring, borrower compliance, the escrow draw process, and risk mitigation - the core levers that keep a loan portfolio healthy. Along the way, you may support Asset Managers with property analysis, construction and rehab review, market analysis, and borrower or investor inquiries, and even help identify loans or projects that may transfer to Special Servicing. It's a rare chance to see the full life cycle of asset management - from active portfolio oversight to problem resolution - all through a hands-on, "learning-by-doing" approach that puts you right in the middle of the action.
