Looking to get into CRE in the DFW area. Where to start?
Hi Guys,

I've been lurking on here for a while and getting ready to invest some money in the commercial market as the residential market here in DFW has been crazy the last few years making new highs pretty much on a weekly basis. I was using loopnet to just look out for what is available but with everything I've been reading about them here, it looks like they only have a small subset of listings and even they are hard to get to without paying a bunch to them or Costar? What is a good way to take the next step and stop being a lurker? I've signed up for some meetups but because of family obligations and work, it's hard to go to any. As such, I imagine I would want something that would be pretty passive since if I can't find time for meetups, I doubt I'll have time to manage. Any advice for the newb?
