I know that they are constantly expanding their programs (and prices for add-ons.)

But the value ended there.However, people believe that the 10-20-30-40k programs will get them to the next level, and give them an unfair advantage against everyone else?

@Ashley Sanchez take a look at this program.  

I have been working with a lender that found a program for me that allows as low as 5% down, and the PMI will be cancelled when the loan reaches 78% LTV.

Even the affordable ones will likely ask you for a decent retainer (anywhere from $2500 to $5000).I'm not sure how the mediation program works in your county.

No matter the degree I choose I will most likely pursue a certificate program in this area too but given that my experience is based heavily on leadership skills already I’d feel like a masters in this area would be slightly redundant (not to down play its importance at all though).

I completed my undergraduate program at Rutgers University in 2015, achieving three Bachelor of Art degrees.
