In this video I break down how to become a commercial loan broker from a true beginner level. If you’re a residential loan officer looking to level up, or you’re brand new to finance, I walk you through what “commercial financing” really looks like and how to start positioning yourself to get deals done. The big idea is simple: commercial is a relationship and structuring game—your value is knowing the products, knowing the players, and knowing how to package a deal so a lender can say yes. I cover the practical starting points like how people typically enter the space (and what to focus on before you worry about being an expert), the importance of networking with the right partners, and understanding the basic categories of commercial loans so you’re not guessing. I also point you to Rachel’s resources because having a clear framework and a community can shorten your learning curve. If you want to build a real pipeline, serve business owners and investors, and start playing in bigger numbers, this video is your roadmap to the first steps.
