Employment Advice

Hi Guys,
I've been lurking for awhile, a lot of great information on this site. My question is, how difficult will it be to transition from home building into commercial real estate? I am currently a Financial Analyst for a home builder in Denver, looking for the same position with a commercial real estate company. It seems depending on the company a transaction manager or analyst could be one in the same. A little about me, BS and Masters in accounting, currently working towards the CMA designation. Have been in accounting/finance field for about 10 years, late bloomer. I've noticed in most job descriptions modeling is a must, since I'm at the divisional level versus corporate level I don't do a lot of the modeling required, I understand the concepts just haven't had hands on experience. Would it be required before I apply to positions that I take financial modeling courses I see advertised on WSO? Also, what would be the typical pay and workload. I don't mind putting in the hours. Thank you for any insight.
