Real Estate with Renata and Alex 1/28/26
Q: Is it worth going over my budget by $30,000 to $50,000 or if I should just keep looking?
There's a structural imbalance in the market with more buyers than sellers, so you may sometimes have to overpay for a house because values are expected to rise.
Real Estate with Renata and Alex 1/28/26
Q: Is it advantageous for a first-time buyer to buy a two-family house and live in one side?
Yes, Renata Lewis supports this strategy, having used it herself to afford her first home at 23 years old.
Medical Monday 1/26/26: Cardiac Surgery with Dr. Soon Park
Q: I get really nervous when I go to him. So, my blood pressure goes up. And so, he's put me on blood pressure medicine and also cholesterol medicine because he said that I do have some plaque, even though my cholesterol is in acceptable ranges. I just wanted to get a perspective on the risks involved with the bicuspid aortic valve.
If it leaks or narrows a lot, then that could be an indication to have it corrected surgically.
Medical Monday 1/26/26: Cardiac Surgery with Dr. Soon Park
Q: Is the treatment for bacterial endocarditis surgical, or is it often antibiotics of a kind?
Often antibiotics of a kind if it's early, but if it's delayed, then antibiotics don't penetrate into that, and sometimes it's an inutile surgery, but that could be life-saving.
