The general advice I hear from brokers is to pick the industry you want to focus on and become an expert in that. I am in the CRE world but on the lending side and investor side. \n\nThere are generally two different types of shops you can go work for to learn the business. A large shop like CBRE, JLL, or Colliers will teach you a lot but you will be heavily focused in one market segment. In a more boutique firm you may get exposure to more property types but may have less support to get deals done. \n\nIn my opinion the goal should be to become \u201cthat guy\u201d. I have a broker I call when I\u2019m looking at industrial properties in a specific city. I have an apartment broker who specializes in 100+ multi family. If I\u2019m looking for retail on the northeast side of the city I only really call one guy who is the expert. \n\nIt will probably take 2-3 years to really get up and going in the CRE industry, but if you can survive the tough start and find a niche it can be very rewarding.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
