And with brokerages now offering new agent programs where they will pay 100% of the expense to get licensed, there is literally no reason not to. 

This is literally the entire reason these companies exists - to get this stuff right.As for why, I have no idea why there has been an uptick.

One area can show great signs but literally cross the railroad tracks and it’s a different world.Be aware of these types of physical delineation.If you are getting no demand from qualified applicants then I would say it’s not in a margin of a gentrifying neighborhood.  

Anecdotally, if a house that literally 'floats' over water can burn by wildfire, is any property truly insurable? 

Both a literal break (time off, not legs) and perhaps a little freaking grace (especially from those of you who profess to be Christians). 

so Kristi this begs the question in Fort Meyers were you had land guys in the 50s plat literally 500k thousand lots  ( lehigh Acres etc) where is the development plays or is it all commercial development plays.. 

Sorry, I can see offering a discount for a limited time only, after which the price goes up to whatever the full cost is, but NO reputable seller/instructor is going to literally only give you a total of 10 minutes to make your decision.Sixth, depending on the market you are in, and the specific deals you find, $10,000 could be a ridiculously small finder's fee.

Some days I am literally baffled at how I spent an entire day doing nothing.To me, that feels pretty wealthy.

Literally.
