While you look at real estate you also take into consideration other factors that effect the company like labor, logistics, infrastructure, proximity to clients and suppliers, utilities, and government incentives just to name a few.  You will travel all over the country frequently to some nice places but far more shitholes looking for potential locations for clients.  \n\nIts a hard but interesting job and its pretty tough to break into usually requiring some sort of post graduate degree like a JD or MBA.  Over the years it has become more automated but has also dramatically increased in complexity as well.  Its a real tough job with all the travel and incredibly short deadlines.  You are basically a project manager for opening or consolidating real estate.  I have been doing it for about 17 years now and while I enjoy it the job is quite tiring.", "replies": [{"id": "dhee8dp", "text": "Very interesting.
