Virtual Assistant — Debt Placement (DealRail LLC)
Full-cycle: match deals to lenders, submit packages, follow up to term sheet
About DealRail
DealRail LLC (
Founder team: Spencer Thomas (CEO), David Delgado (COO), Jonathan Reich (CTO).
We have a proprietary 231-lender research workbook with program notes, states covered, property types, loan-size ranges, and broker-friendliness flags. Your job is to work that book to get deals placed.
Role overview
You will own the placement workflow end-to-end for each incoming loan request: intake → lender match → package → submit → follow-up → term sheet summary.
This is not a data-entry role. We need someone who understands commercial debt, can read a deal quickly, and can push lenders for answers without being pushy.
Responsibilities
1. Intake & QC — Review new applications from dealrail.co/apply for completeness. Run our document checklist, flag gaps, and request missing items from the borrower.
2. Lender matching — Match each deal against the 231-lender workbook using: loan program, loan size, state, property type, and broker-friendly status. Produce a shortlist of 5–10 best-fit lenders with a one-line rationale per lender.
3. Package building — Build a clean lender submission package: executive summary, sources & uses, property/borrower snapshot, and supporting docs. Keep it tight — lenders skim.
4. Submission — Submit via lender portals and
5. Follow-up — Run a disciplined follow-up cadence (Day 1, 3, 7) until you get a decline or term sheet. Escalate hot responses to Spencer same-day.
6. Term sheet triage — Collect term sheets, normalize key terms (rate, LTV/LTC, fees, term, prepay, conditions) into a comparison sheet, and flag the top 2–3 for Spencer.
7. Database hygiene — Keep lender notes current. Flag program changes (e.g., a lender exiting a program or being acquired) when you spot them.
