Josh trains them all as the head guru while posing as an anti-guru on Bigger Pockets!

Ah, common mistake... you forgot the force field anti-tamper feature :)

Unfortunately, the public opinion has shifted again back to an anti free market bias.

The "anti-guru" conference lived up to its billing.

"Anti-Flipping" rulings became something the public heard about.

Most banks will have you sign an addendum to the contract or an anti flip affidavit.

What's the main purpose of this anti - flip requirement???

Regarding the entirely unrelevant tangent regarding investing in red states vs. blue states: while there *is* a demonstrable correlation between "blueness" and overall anti-business environment, that doesn't mean you can't invest in blue states.

Curious to find out what ways people have navigated zoning problems with towns/villages that are anti-development, anti-commercial, etc..

Many may have done 100 deals this past year, but someone who does things wrong and never knows it, never gets hung, may advise you based on their success (and luck).I'd suggest also you calibrate your guru meter based on ethics in business, knowing what is legal and customary as well as fair dealings expected will be a good gauge in selecting an advisor in any business.I'm not totally anti-guru, most I see passing themselves off as experts (self appointed experts at that) have no business attempting to go where they go sometimes.
