When pursuing a career in commercial real estate, it's important to narrow your field of interest as soon as possible. You'll have a head start if you can build your college coursework around the discipline. And as you interview with prospective employers, you'll stand out if you have a clear focus and thoughtful plan. The product types we will discuss in this book are: land, office, industrial, data centers, retail, hospitality, healthcare and multifamily. (Another, mixed-use, refers to a combination of one or more product types.) The various disciplines we'll review are: architecture, appraisal, capital markets, construction, development, leasing, investment, management, research and analytics and tenant representation.
