With your background in real estate (STRs and assisted living), commercial MAY make more sense and then if there are any residential deals you can take them as well.

The bigger brokerages usually focus more on Retail sales then teaching you the ins and outs of Real Estate investing. 

You came to the right place to learn more about real estate investing!

Quote from @Daniel Huang: Hi, I am trying to transition to develop my rental income as I am in the final years of my professional career.  

I’m a newly licensed real estate agent, but I haven’t chosen a brokerage to hang my license with yet.

I am looking forward to meeting people from different aspects of the Real Estate Investing world.

@Michael VelezThe best thing you can do is join a local real estate investing club.

Hi @Lillian Pintaro I am a GC and real estate investor in Birmingham.

When a real estate licensee does it, they look at the data, and recommend a price based on that data.
