Hey how are you guys doing, Around this time last year I decided I want to pursue a career in Commercial Development. I have recently obtained my Maryland RE License, applied to countless Commercial brokerage firms as well as intern positions with some development companies.

I've realized this commercial business is really a who you know business, and right now I am just trying to find someone I can learn from.

Are there any commercial developers or even residential developers on here that could give me some advice, It would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, how is everyone. I am in the process of getting my real estate license and wanted to pursue a career in commercial real estate (Long term- Commercial development). Are there any Commercial Brokers in the area that wouldn't mind discussing the business with me, or anyone that is involved in Commercial Real Estate that has the time to talk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

wow how do you find the List above, that would be very helpful in my situation

Aaron Churnick Im still stuck at the "40/hr workweeks stopped in 2007" lol im only 23 and i cant wait until i can say that!

Thanks for the motivation

I am in the same boat, 23 fresh out of college. I've looked up a couple REI clubs hoping to find a mentor in the DC/MD area and most have emailed me back about paying for some class or a book.

How did you go about finding your first mentor?

great advice..thanks

Thanks Ross Schneider i appreciate the advice

My grandfather owned a bunch of properties in the DC area, and since have been passed down to my mother so investing has always been around me. I am looking to get into it myself, i've started working my first job out of college and its not for me, I cant stand working for other people, the repetitive schedule is driving me crazy, same routine every day!.

A co worker here introduced me to the whole selling game a couple weeks ago, There is a lot of money to be made in this field, i started by driving around neighborhoods looking for distressed properties.

With my mother most likely being one of my first investors I could use the whole selling tactics to find great deals send them to my mother and help her with the rehabbing thus getting my foot in the rehab side of real estate.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, and if there's anyone in the DC/MD/VA area i am always looking to network, I dont know much so it would be a great help learning from someone who's already in the position i want to be in.

Thank you

I am actually in the Dc area as well, in the Pg area there are still many on those bandit signs so there is still a market for whole selling here.
Good luck to you though
