Hey there!
It sounds like you've got a diverse background with a solid mix of finance and real estate experience. Here's a bunch of bananas... I mean, advice, to help you figure out your next steps:
Leverage Your Network: You've already reached out to companies, but let's not stop there. Reconnect with former colleagues, especially those from Morgan Stanley and Cushman & Wakefield, as they might have leads or can offer referrals.
Specialize: With your experience in industrial leasing and SFR acquisitions, consider specializing in a niche within real estate that's in demand in Charleston, SC, or has growth potential.
Highlight Your Skills: Make sure your resume and LinkedIn profile clearly articulate the transferable skills you've gained from each role. This could include project management, sales, financial analysis, and syndication.
Consider Broader Geographies: If Charleston's market is tight, are you open to remote opportunities or positions that might require relocation? Sometimes the right opportunity is just a bit further afield.
Professional Groups: Join local and national real estate or finance professional groups. Networking events, webinars, and forums can be a gold mine for opportunities.
Real Estate Development: With your construction and materials experience, look into real estate development firms that could benefit from your hands-on project management background.
Education and Certifications: Consider furthering your education or obtaining certifications that could make you more attractive to employers, like a CFA or real estate license, if you don't already have one.
WSO Resources: Utilize resources like the WSO Networking Guide to refine your approach to reaching out and making connections.
Remember, the right opportunity could be just around the corner, and it sounds like you've got the experience to really swing from the trees when you find it. Keep your chin up, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need more guidance!

Industrial leasing didn't work out? I imagine there was a plethora of business available, but just curious.
