Some people think that owning a home is ok even though there is high crime and a lot of external noise from local transportation.

So take into consideration commute times, amenities, and other external factors more than usual.

If there are existing coaxial cable runs to each unit, we will leave them provided they were properly installed (not drilled in through the external walls, or up through the floors, of the individual units).Most telecommunications providers these days have terminal equipment capable of converting their drop signal (fibre, coaxial cable, or DSL {POTS line}) to an IP-based service over Ethernet.  

Both career paths also offer financial stability (an external reward) while tapping into pragmatic, mathematical instincts (an internal reward). 

On top of that it's heavily fragmented and being threatened on several fronts by disrupters and other external forces.Glenn Sanford's goal was to redesign the model in the cloud-based era to minimize overhead costs (brick & mortar, redundant staffing, etc) while improving services & compensation  to provide a value proposition for agents that is so strong it would be "irresponsible" (his words) to hang your license anywhere else. 

I am basing my assumptions that it won't be severe on the fact that we've seen what happened with much harsher underlying causes and it didn't have a huge effect on our market.

A whole life policy that is optimized for banking has a guaranteed death benefit and cash value you will be contractually entitled to if you keep up your end of the deal (pay your insurance premiums) As we all know an investment goes up and down in value depending on external factors.
