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?  

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

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

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.

If anyone has any knowledge, would appreciate.

Will be a long road ahead for you all over there, been praying for speedy recovery and safety

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!
