What types of jobs should I be looking for?
What kinds of positions should I be applying for that start at the bottom and have the potential to move to different areas of CRE? I would like to try different fields from research to analysis to sales.

I have 5 years of experience as the project coordinator/admin assistant for a $5.5M luxury condo development. I've managed several single-family redevelopments and a 10-unit apartment complex whose main tenants are Section 8 recipients.

I'm pursuing my MBA, though I haven't taken any finance classes yet and am also working on my California RE Salesperson license. The license seems to be a major requirement. 

Thanks in advance!

Today, technology (CoStar, digital cameras, etc.) has meant it's more like an appraisal per week and the U.S. therefore probably only needs 1/3rd or 1/4th as many appraisers as existed in the 1990s.\n\nThat said, spending a few years as a fee appraiser at Altus or RERC or other appraisal management companies will leave you well positioned to jump into a lot of different CRE roles. Appraisal is kind of becoming the field that is the worst paid, but gives you the fastest education in commercial real estate.\n\nedit- this is just my impression of the field. I'm not an appraiser and would defer to an appraiser if they disagree.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dvrc3ba", "text": "You seem like a good candidate for an Asset Management position, at least how my particular company is structured.
