With anti-steering laws, we make exactly the same amount with any lender we send a deal through.

Most people on here are anti guru.

Also, I'm toying with the idea of only doing VRBO and not Airbnb because I've read a lot of anti-AB feedback in STR owner FB groups lately, and that the quality of guest seems to vary (though VRBO has its bad apples too), and it would keep me from trying to manager too much/synchronize calendars, etc.

Unless you have surveyed every single wholesaler or run in circles where wholesalers congregate (BP doesn't count, the extreme and out of touch anti-wholesaler sentiment that runs rampant here causes most of us to congregate elsewhere), you have no idea what you're talking about. 

Guessing here, but Anti-Money Laundering Act (AML) or even Frank-Dodd may apply, and its just being enforced. 

To me all the school rating seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.I don't think it has much to do with length of a renter to stay put.Anyone can live anywhere they want (or they or Section-8 can afford).Forever renters (IMO) seems to stay put longer, if they have market equal housing, are treated like customers vs pests, maintenance requests are handled promptly, and rent increases do not jump too huge for them too quickly (and in some instances do not have relationship issues/breakups or are PITA Renters to the owner or other renters.A forever renter example might be Mr works retail, Mrs works waitress, kids or not, or Ms. is a hairdresser and sister Ms. is a receptionist, or Section-8 working or not.A non-long term renter might be Mr. is going through law school or is an MD in the area for residency time, or other person on a career path that typically includes home ownership.I'm not talking here about any type of protected classes here, which would be against the Fair Housing Laws, because it's important we all follow the laws.As far as the schools go:They teach you how to read and writeThey teach you how to countThey teach you how to buy and sellYour own body by the poundDon't be blind to the factThat the hand you holdIs the hand that holds you down.As I said above, to me, all the school rating  seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.It's not that I'm anti-school--it's just that they ALL could be so much better.It just seems like babysitting and jumping through useless hoops.Just my 2 cents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

(more anti-social).  

People always add something that's irrelevant.Yes CA pop is declining, yes hmeless is increasing yes CA gov is anti landlord.

I have seen so many post from people here on BP that are anti-guru.

That's tough as most lenders have anti-flipping rules preventing a simultaneous closing.The only way I've ever pulled that off is to receipt my contract with seller, then receipt a new contract between buyer and seller as a back-up contract.
