Band 1 vs Band 4; substantially easier to lateral from K&E to FF than the reverse; firm that sounds like a hot dog vs firm that sounds like a hot dog seller. K&E wins this if there isn't a specific reason to pick FF.
OP here. The worry with K&E is that their rep is for doing more borrower-side work, rather than lender-side (which I prefer). But K&E is so huge maybe that’s not a real concern?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 4:59 pmBand 1 vs Band 4; substantially easier to lateral from K&E to FF than the reverse; firm that sounds like a hot dog vs firm that sounds like a hot dog seller.

K&E is huge, and primarily does borrower-side work. That said, there is an active lender-side practice, esp. in NY, and K&E is so much of a free market system, if you reach out to the right people and get on the right track, you'll be able to do more of that.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 5:12 pmOP here.
