Resources for the fundamentals of commercial real estate?
Hi! I just got hired as a CSC at commercial real estate company. I am coming from a completely different industry, and I feel so far behind. (My company knew I was new, but hired me on because they liked my personality.)

My training has been on softwares for things, marketing, etc but I find myself being unable to get a real grasp of what exactly I am doing and why it is important.

Please recommend any resource you have for beginner’s. I want to learn terminology and processes.

With this recession coming, I need to prove that I am a valuable member of the team. My brokers are stressed enough and I don’t want to bother them with 1,000,000 questions.

Thank you!
