Multifamily Underwriting Senior Associate– Affordable Housing
About the role
with. Responsibilities: The posting includes bullet-like sentences under "Our Impact:" and "Your Impact:" and "Develop resolutions..." etc. We need to extract duties/responsibilities. Let's list responsibilities: - Underwriting Targeted Affordable Housing (TAH) loans originated coast to coast by network of Optigo Lenders (Our Impact) - Evaluating the story and making decisions based on credit risk profile and finding creative ways to mitigate risks (Our Impact) - Build toward credit approval and closing individual mortgage loans collateralized by multifamily properties (Your Impact) - Accurately review and ensure concise, complete, and clear Investment Briefs and ensure accurate data quality for loan securitization (Your Impact) - Analyze and conclude on unique affordable housing pro forma property financial statement considerations, resolve transactional issues that escalate in third party report, work with Producers to structure deals, review borrower financial position, market analysis, property inspections, present deals for approval as needed (Your Impact) - Develop resolutions to problems of limited scope following specific and detailed procedures (Your Impact) - Ability to manage 2 transactions independently at a given time and drive to 90% to 100% completion (Keys to Success) - Has a good knowledge of credit policy, procedures and systems (Keys to Success) - Demonstrates ability to lead Optigo Lender calls (Keys to Success) - Tackle and effectively complete additional tasks and assignments at the request of Senior Underwriters and above (Keys to Success) - Experience underwriting 80% of TAH products (Keys to Success) - Ability to underwrite and assist on other Specialty Products (Keys to Success) - Raises issues in a timely fashion and makes recommendations on how to resolve issues rather than waiting on what to be told to do (Keys to Success) - Consensus among Underwriting Managers and Senior Underwriters that underwriter has the capacity to effectively operate at the Professional level (Keys to Success) - Work product exhibits minimal errors (Keys to Success) These could be responsibilities. Qualifications: The posting includes "Qualifications:" bullet list: - 1 - 3 years of related professional experience, preferably in multifamily or commercial real estate finance - Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or related field - Demonstrated proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word - Strong written and verbal communication skills Also "Keys to Success" maybe considered skills? But we have separate Skills section. Skills: Could include proficiency with Excel/Word, communication, knowledge of credit policy, ability to lead calls, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have qualifications list. We could put those under Qualifications. Skills maybe we can include "Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word", "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Knowledge of credit policy, procedures and systems", "Ability to lead Optigo Lender calls", "Ability to manage 2 transactions independently", etc. But many of those are also in Keys to Success. Might be better to treat Keys to Success as Skills. However we need to decide. We have Benefits: The posting mentions "Freddie Mac offers a comprehensive total rewards package to include competitive compensation and market-leading benefit programs. Information on these benefit programs is available on our Careers site." That's vague, not specific benefits. No concrete benefits listed. So we should NOT include Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: The posting includes salary range: "$108,000 - $138,000" and mention of annual incentive program. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: The posting includes "Time-type:Full time FLSA Status:Exempt". That's schedule info (full-time). So we can include Schedule section with that. Now we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes to which section.
About the role: Could include the Position Overview paragraph and maybe mission statement? But mission statement is generic; but we can include overview.
Let's extract Position Overview: "If you are a hard-working, motivated and intellectually driven professional with a passion for commercial real estate (CRE) and finance, Freddie Mac Multifamily is the employer for you! The nation’s greatest and most innovative secondary market Multifamily mortgage lender and issuer of securitized fixed-income with an annual platform exceeding $80 billion is looking to add a Multifamily Underwriting Professional to the Targeted Affordable Housing team. At Freddie Mac, you will do important work to build a better housing finance system, and you’ll be part of a team helping to make homeownership and rental housing more accessible and affordable across the nation."
We'll put that as prose under About the role.
Responsibilities: We'll list the duties from Our Impact, Your Impact, and maybe some from Keys to Success that are duties. But we need to avoid duplication with Skills/Qualifications. We'll treat responsibilities as the core duties: underwriting TAH loans, evaluating story, credit risk, mitigating risks, building toward credit approval, reviewing Investment Briefs, analyzing pro forma, resolving transactional issues, working with producers, reviewing borrower financial position, market analysis, property inspections, presenting deals, developing resolutions to problems, managing transactions, knowledge of credit policy, leading Optigo Lender calls, completing additional tasks, underwriting TAH products, underwriting specialty products, raising issues, ensuring work product minimal errors.
We'll put those as
- .
Requirements: Might be similar to Qualifications? The instruction says we can have Requirements section separate from Qualifications. But we have Qualifications list. Could treat Requirements as the experience/education etc. But we already have Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both Qualifications and maybe Requirements (like "1-3 years of related professional experience" etc). That's qualifications. Could we treat Requirements as the same as Qualifications? Probably better to have Qualifications section only, and not Requirements. However the instruction lists possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include only those with content. So we can include Qualifications and Skills, but not Requirements if we don't have distinct content.
But we have "Keys to Success" which could be Skills. Let's treat Skills as those items: ability to manage 2 transactions, knowledge of credit policy, ability to lead Optigo Lender calls, tackling additional tasks, experience underwriting 80% of TAH products, ability to underwrite and assist on other specialty products, raising issues timely, consensus capacity, work product minimal errors. Also proficiency with Excel/Word and communication skills could be skills but they are already in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put Excel/Word and communication under Qualifications, and the rest under Skills.
Thus:
Qualifications: list the four bullet points.
Skills: list the keys to success items (excluding those already in Qualifications). Let's list:
- Ability to manage 2 transactions independently at a given time and drive to 90% to 100% completion
- Good knowledge of credit policy, procedures and systems
- Ability to lead Optigo Lender calls
- Tackle and effectively complete additional tasks and assignments at the request of Senior Underwriters and above
- Experience underwriting 80% of TAH products
- Ability to underwrite and assist on other Specialty Products
- Raises issues in a timely fashion and makes recommendations on how to resolve issues rather than waiting to be told what to do
- Consensus among Underwriting Managers and Senior Underwriters that underwriter has the capacity to effectively operate at the Professional level
- Work product exhibits minimal errors
That seems reasonable.
Pay: include salary range and annual incentive program.
Schedule: full-time, exempt.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those.
