I'm looking for a job in commercial real estate that would allow me to travel between California and Texas.
Okay I know how ridiculously specific this is, and I completely understand if advice cannot be offered to this specific situation. In which case, maybe advice in general as to what job positions in CRE allow you to travel? 

About me: I currently work in multifamily development for an owner/developer. We work in very very luxury high rise apartments. We have about 10 properties that range from under contract to built and fully leased. I work in project management and do just about every aspect of development. While most big firms (which is what I hope to get into) have multiple departments (acquisitions, investments, etc) to handle the different stages of development, we are a very small department and wear multiple hats. Therefore, one day I might be working with construction subcontracts on our project under construction in Denver, the next on our land acquisition due diligence for our new property in Dallas, and the next on dealing with tenants moving into our brand new luxury high rise in Houston. You get the idea. 

I'm VERY grateful for the experience I have had so far, yet I would eventually like to transition to a bigger company (JLL, CBRE, DTZ, etc). I'd like to be able to work somewhere that had more room for growth. Currently, I work directly below the EVP and two SVP's....and they aren't going anywhere in the next 10 years. There isn't a position for me to get promoted here unless they made a new role. I'd like to be able to travel more. I would love to be able to split my time between Texas (where I currently reside) and California (born and raise, family still there). It wouldn't even have to be a 50/50 split, I'd take anything that allowed me to travel more! At 25 years old, I have the time, flexibility, and drive to take on a role like this. While my experience is in multifamily and mixed-use, I am definitely open to all aspects of development. 

This has probably turned into a complete ramble, and for that I apologize. Would anyone have any advice for me? Are there roles in development that allow you to travel? Virtual positions? I would love to hear from you experts! Thank you so SO much in advance :) 
[{"id": "cshm4th", "text": "what do u want to do in companies like JLL, CBRE etc? become a broker or something like an analyst?", "replies": [{"id": "cshmhn9", "text": "I would prefer to stay in multifamily development or redevelopment. But I wouldn't mind doing acquisitions or underwriting I guess. ", "replies": [{"id": "csl5n09", "text": "Those companies are real estate services companies that don't do development or acquisitions in the way you are thinking. They're brokers, they do have divisions that help corporations manage their real estate and development thereof (i.e. Project development services at JLL). But if you want to keep doing development then you'll need to look elsewhere. DFW, Houston, and Austin all have big reits and other real estate companies headquartered there many of which operate in California. Networking will be the only realistic way of getting your foot in the door. ", "replies": [{"id": "cslich6", "text": "hey! so If I am interested in the finance side of CRE or research (so be more like analysts and not brokers) I should be looking into more development companies/REITS and not brokerages? because development firms/investment firms/reits deal a whole lot more with acquisitions right?", "replies": [{"id": "cslp26i", "text": "So if you like the finance side of things, then you have several options within one of the services mentioned.  You should target their capital markets groups (this is investment sales) or a reib group (there're mortgage brokers). The good thing about nose is deal flow, you'll see a ton of deals from all across the risk spectrum and potentially different property types depending on the group. Downside there is that you will not travel btw tx and ca doing this, but I think it's a strong career move. In order to travel you need to be on the principal side and more than likely work for a developer bc acquisition folks travel but usually not very much at the junior level and it is usually quick trips. I will warn you that I find it very unlikely that there is really any job in real estate finance at your level that will have the travel aspect you desire. I hope I'm wrong but that's my two cents. Hope that helps some. ", "replies": [], "depth": 5}], "depth": 4}, {"id": "csmbnx5", "text": "Hey thanks for the response! Haha you actually answered another person who chimed in on my thread. I have no desire to go into financial analytics like the person above. Definitely want to stay in the project management/development role.
