Chris....
The best thing you can do is become licensed, work nights if you have to, and serve an apprentiship during the day. Learn to represent others well in their commercial investment decisions. Begin to earn commissions. Don't quit your night job and bank the commissions you earn. Then when you have accumulated enough experience and enough money, magic will happen!
To try to become an commercial real estate investor without money and without experience is a fool's activity and in the run will have you waisting a lot of time and very possibly losing any funds you may have.
Sorry but that is the best answer I can give you from over 35 years experience in this business. Good luck.....
