I don\u2019t necessarily agree that it\u2019s going to be a bloodbath in CRE or that you shouldn\u2019t make the switch. I think we\u2019re all in the indefinite waiting period right now for when rates stabilize and buyers / sellers / tenants / landlords accept a reset in expectations, but it\u2019s not like there\u2019s much going on in resi right now either so why not pursue it.

Better upside in the long run in my opinion. \n\nWhich part of DFW are you most knowledgeable of?", "replies": [{"id": "itv50xf", "text": "As far as being knowledgeable I\u2019m very familiar with the Lakewood area, casa Linda, mockingbird, Greenville. \nJust moved to forney definitely lots of opportunities for businesses and residential development.", "replies": [{"id": "itv7r4j", "text": "Go drive around and see who\u2019s leasing the sorts of spaces you\u2019re most interested in.

It\u2019s a math based game, all driven by logic and numbers. And I think you have to be a hell of a lot more persistent than a resi broker. It\u2019s just an entirely different skill set. I\u2019m a resi investor/owner but I NEVER list my own homes.
