Not sure if there are any commercial lenders on this forum, but any advice is appreciated. I've been considering going the path of a commercial lender, my background is in CRE brokerage. A few banks I've talked to typically start people in a credit analyst position before moving to a commercial lender. I'm curious if anyone has started as a mortgage loan officer and made the move to a commercial lender, or if there was a different path they took. Interested in hearing any insight. Thanks!

I'm not sure whether there are a lot of mortgage lenders that transition into commercial lending, but firms in my market typically have people start out as credit analysts (in either a portfolio or underwriting capacity), and then progress from there as they get more experience. I would imagine this is pretty universal across asset classes but could be wrong.
Thanks for the feedback. That was my understanding as well. I think my obstacle with going the credit analyst route is my lack of accounting background. I've taken accounting and finance courses in college, but my previous 5 or so years in CRE brokerage was not very accounting intensive.
