As an LA native, I see lots of potential in this region with the new football and basketball stadiums + lots of new Chipotle/Five Guys-esque restaurants popping up.

Because of my 28 years in the horse industry, I keep falling upon vacant land and AG probably.I look forward to talking and meeting everyone I forgot if there were more things I was supposed to say lol

Referrals - Connect with other industry professionals in Atlanta such as property management companies, commercial lenders, Lawyers with CRE experience, etc.. and ask for a referral, or even better an introduction, to brokers.2.

By day I'm a marketing manager in the sporting goods industry.

I like real estate, but my main desire that keeps me in the industry is to achieve financial freedom to do the things that I'm very passionate about. 

Concerning Education, I have no skills concerning real estate industry.

I am away from home 50-66% of the year however so the work life balance is not ideal, especially when the volatility and future of the oil industry is taken into consideration.We currently "own" our home on a 30 year mortgage, paying $1226 per month (P&I, PMI, Taxes), with approximately $6000 of equity in our home.

Which is why there used to be a mantra in the industry of "one year and one day". 

Commercial real estate is categorized into four classes, depending on function: office, industrial, multifamily, and retail.

Anyone who's had success in any field or industry has had to make sacrifices.
