We will sell our CA triplex before we move so that we are no longer exposed to the anti-business climate here, but plan to keep rentals in both AZ and CO, and are still considering investing in other landlord-friendly states as well. 

The problem is the anti-flip clause with FHA.  

@Ryland Taniguchi  then why anti skimming law..  

The Dodd-Frank Law (Title XIV – Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act)"...The seller is obligated to investigate the buyer’s credit history, current and expected income, current obligations, debt-to-income ratio, employment status, and the like in order to make this determination.

I've never been, but my guess is that, if you don't know much about investing, you'll likely get your money's worth for the $197 (yes, I'm very anti-guru, but it's likely a brand new investor will get at least $200 worth of info and motivation from that sort of thing)...That said, here are some caveats:1.  

This is why Bigger Pockets usually has an "anti-guru" sentiment.

Sleepy little town, Kind of the anti-Gatlinburg.

Keep on promoting your anti-agent rants if that makes you feel better but the fact is saying something doesn't make it true. 

They've built as much into the Williams Village complex as they can and Boulder's anti-growth laws won't allow for anything significant to be built any more.

FHA has anti flipping rules that just went back into full affect on Jan 1, 2015.
