Commercial real estate license

[Jack L.]

Hello, my name is Jack. I have a strong background in residential construction. I have built many homes and have done remodeling and flips for years and now I am think about getting my real estate license and would like to know from some experienced commercial brokers some of the pros and cons of the commercial real estate industry. Such as realistic time frame in establishing yourself, operational cost, marketing, will you need to mix residential in for a time until you are established, any software or materials that would be helpful, etc. any of your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you
