Thank you all for the responses. These are great tips to get things rolling.
@Joel Owens I really appreciate your comments. I appreciate you telling me really how it is and not sugar coating things. I definitely want to be all in. The struggle I am having, which I am sure several other readers face, I have built my career and now want to move into a different direction. I believe that my experience will help me in Commercial Real Estate. I have my CPA license and am currently a CFO for a manufacturing company. In the accounting realm I have worked with top ranked companies and know the advantages of gaining experience through these high volume national firms.
Unfortunately I do not have the reserves you speak of to walk away and go full time. Also since my position is so vital to the company I would need to provide them with enough notice to replace me as well. So how could I be more attractive to these companies that would want to invest in me? I am trying to break out of the cycle of "I really want to do this ... but look at all these obstacles. I better just keep going along and maybe one day I will be in a better situation to make the move." I mean I do fine for myself right now but I don't want "fine" any longer.
Would you suggest I spend more time on building reserves and general RE knowledge until I have the ability to go full-time and specialize? I was hoping that I could do things one day a week and during off hours but if this is really not feasible please let me know.
