Retail, Industrial, Multi-family, or Office?
I've finally wrapped up everything and I'm ready to start contacting commercial real estate brokers to find a suitable company, but I can't figure out which specialty has the most opportunity. 

I'm new to real estate and realize it will likely take me a year or two years to start making some deals, but I want to start down the most lucrative path.

Any suggestions or information on which type of commercial real estate is the 'best'? The market I'm planning on working in is booming all around.

Maybe retail?\n \n* Do you like wearing a suit and enjoy a more corporate environment?  - Talk to a few office \"street brokers\".\n\nYou will make money doing what you enjoy, if you are in real estate just to make money...
