I know it's been 6 weeks... But I thought I would put in my two cents.
I personally made this transition in January, from being an LO.
I lucked out, and got with an Owner/Developer, who was able to help out a lot. Salary + Commission, Benefits, Car, etc. etc. For me, I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity to break into Commercial real estate... Especially at a time like this.
The money is decent, and fast for the most part.
