It is a great place to start or enhance your real estate investing .BP is a great resource.

When Moody’s Investor Service warned that lending underwriting standards had slipped to the point that they would begin raising subordination levels on loans it deemed in need of credit enhancement you could see the writing on the wall.

My (limited) understanding of that law is that (1) it was written to specifically enhance the lenders' ability to enforce DOS and (2) the exemption to which you refer is for a living trust in which the original borrower is a beneficiary.

All of these things just require taking some extra time, getting dirty and looking beyond the basic cosmetic enhancements you have to do.
