The irresponsible utilization of the sub to method of transferring real estate being promoted by a well known guru ( with past legal troubles) to naive, inexperienced, and under capitalized “investors” will  lead to restrictive legislation negatively affecting the ability of responsible investors, desperate homeowners, and home buyers unable to qualify under high interest rates from doing a successful sub to transaction.
