I am very intrigued by the long term earnings potential, plus I believe that I would enjoy being a broker more than my current duties in property management.I've saved a fair amount over the past few years but am still a little bit wary of having no safety net in a commission-only job with no health or dental benefits.I may have to ask my parents for some financial assistance and/or get a side job with flexible hours and health/dental benefits.Thanks for your response, and please let me know if there is anything else I should keep in mind before taking the plunge into becoming a commercial real estate broker.

Think an office building owned by the taxpayer in an LLC taxed as a disregarded entity, leased to the taxpayer's P.C. dental practice taxed as a C-Corp. 

For example - let's saying your company is paying you $100,000/year in salary, they may offer you $50/hr saying it comes to $100k (50 weeks x 40 hours) but as you can see that's a raw deal because your loaded cost of health, vision, dental benefits are not baked in, neither is your 401k.

If not, contact a cpa or 1031 practitioner before closing.

Hey everyone,  I'm a nurse practitioner by trade, and while I love my job, I don't love the time constraints and that I work 5 days a week just to get 2 off.

Most practitioners know this is likely a one-time job and there is no future revenue from the person.
