So, while the market may be a bit frothy, I wouldn't be too hurried to purchase an indulgence for your potential transgressions as a real estate investor.

The notion that Lyft or Uber should be illegal is absurd, and yet we see police running stings for Uber drivers in some cities.So in conjunction with good realtors figuring out how to changed their business model over time, I fully expect to see the NAR pushing "consumer protection" measures that require agents/realtors.And, if you will indulge me in trotting out one of my hobby horses, this is one of the reasons why it is a really bad idea for the "REI" community to be pushing/engaging in questionable practices that will provide the justification for those bad regulations.  

I think there's opportunity here for us to learn from your success, if you'd be willing to indulge.
