Commercial v. Residential Agent

My BP peeps:

Been toying with the idea of sitting for my AGENT'S license because I slept the December 31 deadline to become a BROKER!

Arrgh, so I have to park my license at at brokerage for 2 years here in California.

Since I have to bide my time, might as well learn and do what I am interested in. . .

I plan on investing in apartment buildings, repositioning strip malls, industrial properties/storage facilities, brokering commerial loans, etc. . .

My question, can a snot nosed noob start in a COMMERCIAL real estate office, or do you brokers only take seasoned professionals?

What is the difference in the office aura, the training, the mentoring, the camaraderie?

When to start on the CCIM designation, if ever?

How to start querying offices in my locale?

I dont think I can stomach being a 50 year old intern.

Keenly interested in what my mentor brothers @Joffrey Long and Joel Owens have to opine!

Blessings all, and wishing you good business,

Tevis
