Findind a career in commercial real estate

Member since 2019 · 17 posts · 28 votes

I've been working in corporate America for about a decade working in marketing and invest in real estate on the side. I would love to go into commercial real estate full time, but not sure where to begin. I know its an interesting time in commercial and its a tough industry mainly based on relationships. Not looking for any to tell me why I shouldn't do it cause I've heard and read plenty of that, mainly looking for any recommendations on who to talk with, classes or courses to take or anything like that. 

Any comments, recommendations, or guidance is much appreciated! And if you're in the industry and would be open to chatting I'd happily pay for your time to do so.

OP.   Looks like you’re mainly in STRs.  If you’re interested in Commercial I can get you started down the path.  But you will need to narrow down to a specific field in Commercial.  Just say GO and I’ll get you started.

    The key is to combine structured learning with  connections, and most people in the industry are open to mentoring if you approach them thoughtfully.

    I run an investing group, I will keep you in mind if I come across someone I think could be helpful.

    DM me and I'd be happy to talk with you.  I made a career change to commercial real estate brokerage a few years ago and definitely learned some lessons along the way.
