Silicon Valley, for example, depends on the fortunes of a single sector of the economy.

So the government does not get involved in producing housing, but fills the affordability gap through the private sector. 

Wow.I've been seeing some apartment complexes going up around the northwest sector.

Investing in stuff you do not understand is asking for a shark in that sector to take you to the cleaners for their own gain and your losses.

Lots and lots of reasons why thats not true in every sector in every moment in every cycle and in every type of real estate and you can find plenty of evidence on this board and elsewhere to show it. 

I figured that getting my license and working in an agency with successful sales people will give me a wealth of knowledge as well as earn the opportunity to get income through my sales skills (spent time as a financial advisor for Prudential Financial, I also had stints in sales with AFLAC).If you can, I would love some awesome feedback on everything from: *What I need to know about working with a brokerage firm (membership dues, office politics, commission splits, location, size, etc)*How I should start investigating my market,*What kind of time and money I should be prepared to invest to get results in real estate sales,*Tips on getting into the commercial sector,And anything in between!

that being said I'd look at the regional/community bank sector.   

The nongovernment sector added 283,500 jobs, an annual growth rate of 2.8 percent, also higher than the nation’s employment growth rate of 1.8 percent in the private sector.Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in February was 4 percent, lower than the 4.7 percent rate in February 2017.

Many look like they were a quick stand up with whatever Rooms-to-Go had to offer that day, and were just sitting vacant.Again, I have no local knowledge, but after suffering through a few downturns in various sectors, the Orlando market is something I would personally keep a wary eye on.

In my experience I've seen only two other sectors that work harder than those that flip houses.
