But, sustainable success in real estate is built on first of all a thorough knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law, and real estate finance.  

now that we know this companies name I suspect some of the SC agents will turn this company in and ask how they can do it while others cant/wont.Jay, do you see all of this regulation as cleaning up the swamp of fly by night wannabes  and resulting in greater deal opportunity for those with the capital, knowledge and experience to comply and profit?  

I'm a CPA and husband a financial planner so we're pretty focused and knowledgeable on the financial analysis and planning side. 

I'm not sure how to articulate it but, basically this bit of knowledge saves me a bunch of time and kind of surprised it hasn't come up in any of the books, articles, or videos I've been learning from.

Love hearing about your experience, especially with 21+ years in the game—definitely a wealth of knowledge there!

I'm in disbelief about the lack of knowledge - I'm not an agent. 

As long as you put in the time to learn as much as you can up front and put that knowledge to work by taking action, you'll be just fine!

I have limited knowledge of Sub To deals, despite Pace Morby's excellent efforts to make Sub To well know (Sorry, Pace, it's me, not you!) 

If anyone has any knowledge, would appreciate.

Check the in person events and meetups in your local area, our online community is full of knowledge and folks willing to share and still nothing replaces the opportunity to interact IRL, you never know who you will meet and where that can take you on your REI journey.
