F500 Finance Professional Considering Brokerage License
Some back story:

I've been in corporate finance for about 4 years now and recently left the aerospace industry to join an F500 company in support of their retail growth strategy. While I'm not technically part of the company's real estate department, I oversee the financial analysis of all new stores throughout the US and love the work. 

Looking long-term, I'd love to eventually join a RE investment firm and am curious what you recommend that I can do to best prepare myself, as well as build my resume for such a career change. I live in Tennessee and believe I qualify for the affiliate brokers license. Is this something that would be worthwhile and provide a solid foundation to grow?
