Advice for someone starting a new career in CRE?
I just got a job that specializes in multi family apartments and income property. I’ve been told it’s a lot of cold calling and to expect a lot of rejection at first. A couple of the VPs have told me they will mentor me along the way. Just curious what advice you can give someone just starting out?

I’m 23 years old and live in a highly populated city with expensive RE.
