Hello fellow BP'ers-Like many of you I have an interest in RE investing...and also work in the industry supporting RE Investors as the Director, Business & Investor Development with Evergreen Note Servicing.I've read many discussions and had conversations with many others about servicers, servicing and supporting the investor network.  

Residential, probably a long haul, Retail is a better play, Industrial could be a home run.

Just wondering if some of this is too good to be true and if not I would love for you guys to enlighten me more of the industry.

I'm looking for any advice/ tips from anyone About what to expect and how to be successful in this industry when first starting out 

I don't want to do this as a hobby but turn this into my career and my aggressive mindset will surely lead me down that path however I truly feel like I will not be comfortable doing this until I know I have someone I can rely on in the industry.

I was considering obtaining a a Realtor Associate License in the very near future for a couple of reasons.  1) It would provide a good fall back into an industry that I very much want to be a part of.  2) Doing it now would allow me to meet the experience timeline to have my Broker's License prior to retirement.  

So true about the path to success in this industry and how there are so many different ways to success because of the many different focuses in the Real Estate Industry.  

i work in the finance industry in midtown Manhattan. 

I would love to take things to the next level and put together a syndication deal on something on a much larger scale 20, 50, 75 + complex or something along those lines...I have a pretty good network and feel I can definitely raise capital as I work in the financial services industry and know a lot of people....
