Help Transitioning to a Career in Commercial Real Estate
Hello

I currently work for a small real estate and property management firm (30 employees including RE agents.) We do mostly residential but some commercial. I have been in this career for 5 years and was the first employee and we have grown quite a bit. I am the operations managers, marketing manager, project manager, technology manager, and at times was a property manager, have done development, flips, etc.

Commercial real estate is a obviously a large industry and has many different career paths, however, I am having trouble finding great resources on it. I would like to research more on certain roles to get a better idea of where I fit and what I would enjoy. Not sure if I am suited for an analyst, property manager, project manager, or otherwise. I am not interested in becoming a broker.

Does anyone know of any online resources or books I should be reading to narrow down a career path, gain industry knowledge, and give me some more in depth background on the corporate commercial side? 

I do not know anyone in the industry so I have not had the opportunity to pick anyone's brain on this so any advice or discussion would be greatly appreciated.
