In every up market, everyone with a general interest in seeing properties sell for higher prices (real estate agents), will champion spending more on houses.

You do not get to act autonomously and for your own benefit.Let me further add, I am not champion of the Sub2 epidemic sweeping street level REI.  

So, I'll just add that I didn't intend to say/insinuate that any LU employees or executives were in league with the aforementioned syndicator. 

By the way-I used Champion Real Estate school-and did everything on line. 

It's a little more involved if it is load bearing and might be out of a "handyman's" league.

My husband was a professional track and field athlete who worked really hard to get himself out of precarity in Long Beach, went to a great college, was a NCAA champion, broke a world record, etc. 

If you are picking up golf you wouldn't worry about what to serve at the Master's Champion Dinner or how to handle endorsements before you could hit a chip from 8 yards off the green.Looking back, sometimes I wonder if I should have gotten my license.

It's like going on a date with a chic that's out of your league.

I don't know exact pricing, but I've heard of some champion male alpacas going for over $250,000 (but most from 5k to 40k, depending on the animal, characteristics, demand, etc).

They want to see the portfolio cash flows.The market has changed a bit and your portfolio puts you in the big leagues compared to the normal part time or full time RE investor (most have fewer than 10 properties).
