Being new, I've had to reach out to other brokers and resources to learn.\n\nPersonally, I do best from 1 on 1 mentoring (which I haven't found a good mentor).  Second, I do well from in person instruction.  That said, I looked into my local Realtor board (pwr.net) and took an intro class into CRE.  I found that class 10x more efficientive than the last 5-6 months trying to figure things out on my own.", "replies": [{"id": "dhu56dn", "text": "You need to get out of that office and fast. If you want to learn commercial re, go to a comm. shop n start under someones wing. If you've real got some gumtion, learn how to build n study re at college. A degree in const.man. would help.", "replies": [{"id": "dhu6q41", "text": "I appreciate the feedback. It's complicated, but in the end I admit it's just me being a comfortable and not wanting to take risk.\n\nI have a 6 figure day job and do RE work on the side.  My wife and I make alot of money combined, but because of our student loans, new baby, lifestyle, etc, we live close to pay check to paycheck.  Everthing I made from this stuff goes to principle.  Last year was a good year with about 25k in commissions.\n\nAdditionally, the broker is my mom'a long time friend and has treated me SUPER well. I'd feel that I'm disrespecting his help by switching brokers. \n\nResidential is all my RE income, CRE (although biggest potential) is currently zero.\n\nLong term, I'd like to make CRE my full time job, but as an investor buying/selling my own stuff and for my friends and family.  Maybe start a REIT (have thought about getting a job in one)\n\nAll that said, the current plan is keep spending all my discretionary time in learning and practicing RE (and ATM CRE).", "replies": [], "depth": 5}], "depth": 4}], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
