@jeremy kloter I’d be moving down there to essentially start my career period. I was playing hockey in Minnesota for a while and on my way back I took a road trip through quite a number of cities including Tampa and Tampa was by far my favorite. There’s the Bay on the one side and the Ocean on the other, plus the Tampa Bay Lightning there doesn’t hurt either. I have a position with a brokerage that does rentals, property management, and commercial down in Tampa when ever I get down there and am taking my Florida Real estate licensing requirements online. I already have my NJ license but I don’t see the point of starting in a place that I’m looking to leave. I’d be interested to learn more about your real estate investment firm!

Hi I am looking to get into commercial real estate in Florida and looking at the Tampa and Miami areas. Tampa tends to have better cap rates on LoopNet and Miami tends to have more job postings on indeed, although there are opportunities in both. I am new to real estate so I still have a lot to learn but it definitely makes sense that the better the property the more likely there will be a buyer and Tampa tends to have better cap rates. However Miami has less barriers to entry which is a criteria that some investors look for. It's tough to choose between the two. 

I’m looking to get into commercial real estate in Florida in either the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area or the Tampa area and I was wondering if anyone has any guidance regarding the markets? It seems like cap rates are better on the gulf side than the east coast which points towards Tampa. Thanks!

Chris Tracy Thank you for the response. I've tried to inbox you but can't seem to find a way to on the app. I'd love to get any further feedback. Thank you!

Roger Johnson Good to have you here! I'm in NJ as well (Morris County) and in the process of getting my license and plan to work for a transactional brokerage where I focus on finding properties for investors that can make them money! I'd love to connect. -Glenn

I am just around the corner from taking my Real estate licensing test and I am not exactly sure which direction I would like to head in at the moment. I do plan on eventually getting into commercial regardless. I also plan to move in 2-3 years. Residential: A B2B version of residential, working for a transactional brokerage, selling crappy houses to rehabbers and 1-4 family houses to buy and hold investors. The advantages of this would be the option to do BPOs and the possibility for more frequent transactions. Commercial: Focus on the investment property sector. The advantages would be better training and B2B on all sides of the transaction. I do think I'm better suited for B2B and as I said I do plan on getting into commercial eventually. I don't have enough money saved up to go a long time without cash in commercial but I could drive Uber. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

@Russell Brazil True. I am in NJ and could be moving to either one of the others and possibly both within the next year. 

@Russell Brazil Thank you. I'm considering NJ, CO, and FL. 

I'm wondering how similar the RE license exams are from state to state and if it's possible to knock off a few states at a time? 

I think if you can circumvent the problem of people thinking they could do the same working for themselves that it's doable.
