Commercial Brokers concentrate on strictly Commercial product, have the knowledge and expertise to lend to a deal and have access to the Commercial MLS system that many Residential agents do not have access to.  

Concentrate on that first.Good Luck!

You typically buy property yourself and resale it with an Agent that does not have any advantage over you but allows you to concentrate on income production and not commission.  

Not a general state but a concentrated market where you can evaluate statistics, etc.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

It's already been mentioned, you can simply deal as an individual, probably the best way initially, had you began by concentrating on the basics of real estate instead of guru stuff, you'd be 2 years further ahead. 

Read and understand the lender's SEC filings since they often outline commercial lending criteria and sometimes hint at areas of asset concentration concerns.

I do all three, but if I lived in southern Florida, I would only concentrate on learning about notes.

That should be your concentration always.

You're going to have a difficult time finding stats.I concentrate on low income housing.  

The current trend is toward the urban core so start with downtown and do concentric circles from there.
