Advice to help decide what asset class to start brokerage career in right now??
I am currently going through the training process to become a commercial broker at a large firm in Chicago and am looking for advice or things to think about while deciding what asset class I want to pursue to begin my career and what market area to focus on either in Chicagoland area or elsewhere. 

Right now I am leaning towards industrial however I'm open to all input and thoughts on the matter.

This way you will learn how to find golden opportunities in which you can invest your own equity should you choose. I was a retail net lease broker for awhile but the market seems to be saturated with just about every new kid on the block trying to become a broker.

Do you like to work hard for no money? Then retail. Do you like cold calling? Then multi family. \nChicago is the second largest industrial market after Los Angeles.

New tilt-up concrete facilities are coming online in Lake and DuPage Counties monthly.

Industry and last mile delivery will continue to be a priority moving forward. Chicago continues to show resilience and growth despite its issues. There are approximately 30 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Chicago, so other large companies see the appeal in the city and area, which will in turn bring more employees who demand more food, better roads, etc, putting demand on the industrial sector. That being said, I think we will see a divergence based on class as the old stock fizzles away. No one is investing in a 1940s facility because they lack the ceiling height, docks/doors, and other amenities that the new facilities have. Is it a bubble? I would say no, just the natural change in demand.
