These individuals are very smart people, who are working in the hi-tech industry for a very nice salary. 

I am new to the real estate industry and through my studying have come to feel that in my current situation contract assignment (wholesaling) would be the best way to enter the industry.  

I've been with the company full time since 2011, and am starting to move toward more of a business development role.Our clients are large institutional investors and we look for infill opportunities in healthcare, retail, industrial, multifamily, and hotels. 

(Not looking for a 'War & Peace' answer.)I ask this because often friends and other businesses (that don't understand how our industry operates), look at this profession as a "vulturistic" endeavor.

Its nice to know there are folks still doing this and making money for the effort.If there are others in and around Tampa who would like to partner/share/exchange/anything, I am completely open to making new connections and meeting others in the industry - PM me.Thanks for the input so far.

I have worked in many different industries in sales and marketing.

It's really nice to see an industry welcome newbies with open arms.I do have a question for those who may be able to give some advice.

The SEC requires that investors in DSTs offered through my industry must be accredited investors.  

This is what I am encountering, in the current Mortgage Industry.

I have been in the construction industry since I was 17.
