There are so many situations that turn apartment building ownerships into a financial death spiral, the sophistication of the principals doesn't really rate as a factor.The other thing I'd like to point out is, commercial brokers are only one sector of the market, they are not “the” market.

The free material from BP direct that you can download and read at your leisure is great as well.

Non Flagged is VERY challenging to fund historically.I have not been in this space actively so things may be different as the sector has really surged lately.Consider a joint venture with an experienced operator or get seller carry. 

What sector of CRE do you primarily deal in?

My question is which sector is best or how do I figure out what's best for me?

That inventory stocks are gradually getting depleted and needs to be restocked, spells more activity for the manufacturing sector.

When you say "Honor your responsibilities and your word and pay your bills" it seems you are attacking my morals and ethics, what about the morals and ethics and even the "good word" of thoes in the financial sector?!?!

That narrows it down to syndications and other forms of passive investing (like REIT's).Within that space, there are all kinds of sectors but I chose multifamily, as I had access to good mentoring and a network of MF investors local to me.

With having a Top Secret Clearance and Comptia Certs I will be getting a Job in the IT sector and have fallen in love the Chatt area. 

Do your research, target your sector, and attack and be persistent.
