@Josh McCullough  - here's a couple of questions to consider.You said that the CB brokerage in your town is "large" - does that mean that its large enough that its the biggest player in that market?  

That's a great way to network with some of the local players.

And collect business cards of all the players in your area?

It shows you are a team player and I think you have the right attitude to go far.

Connect with some big players in notes here on BP. 

With CAP rates in the large apt and office building space below 6%, I don't blame some large players for taking profits.
