Real Estate Investment Firm vs CRE Brokerage

[Glenn Gayet]

I have ambitions to be an investor in the future and I was wondering if it would be better to work in commercial real estate or to work for an investing firm, kind of like Grant Cardone has a team of people going out and looking for properties. I was also wondering how much difference there would be between a role like this and working in brokerage. As far as brokerage I have more of an interest on the buyers side but it seems like most brokers want you to go for listings. What I’ve found is that following your brain over your heart never works out and I am definitely more passionate about the buyers side / investment side. I’ll be moving to Florida / Cali / somewhere else warm in 7-10 months so I was also wondering what some of the investment firms are in FL and other places.
