I will say that I have add’l knowledge of this company.

Investors here are much more knowledgeable and helpful than the CPA we hired.  

Specialized knowledge helps streamline operations and reduce risks.

If we can agree that 'knowledge' is an asset (an intangible asset) then there may be some common ground in the view that those with unique knowledge that is in low supply but high demand get paid more for their knowledge than those with common knowledge that can be obtained anywhere or from anyone for free. 

The more knowledge you gain, the better positioned you'll be to make informed decisions.Your passion for real estate is inspiring, and I encourage you to continue pursuing your goals.

Additionally, my extensive knowledge of the local area gives me a competitive edge over other investors.2.

I've been approached by a couple of sober living facilities and would perhaps prefer an independent living provider if possible (with 4 units in Cape Coral it's categorized as commercial so all ADA requirements, fire safety, etc. have been provided).

When dealing with a hoarder house, safety should be the top priority.

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?
