For example, BP has been pretty consistently anti-guru for all the years I've been here, yet people still come in here to post about this or that guru or how they lost all their money.

I think the answer is, (especially in this anti-landlord climate), you'd have to be crazy to be a landlord.

When you say there are many "agents whom are anti-wholesaler"...are you speaking of Real Estate Agents or are you still talking about the Attorneys?  

I came from a very pro-labor, anti-capitalist family where "making a profit" or selling something for more then you bought it for was considered taking advantage of one's fellow man, and severely frowned upon.

It is evaluating the location where you are investing to avoid areas that are anti-landlord.

If you wanted to create a different product with a different strategy then there will be different price points to reflect the different levels of risk, variability, and return desires you want.You run into risk purchasing a bad turnkey, but people also overlook you run into risk trying to do it yourself and that is my fear sometimes when people are 100% anti-turnkey as I have seen more people get into trouble trying to do something themselves when they really didn’t understand what they were getting into.

Remove the draconian anti-landlord legislation and I think you could see a return of many landlords and SFR's in particular.  11000 landlords quit Seattle in 2022, this is the number that has not renewed their rental registration.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: @Henry Clark"If you were in a new construction syndication and got caught with a 300% increase in Lumber costs due to Trump applying Tariffs to Canada for anti dumping, and then Covid shut down both the logging and Lumber Mill industries in Canada I can understand getting nailed.

Seems like you are anti capitalism.

GFCI protection will also be required and possibly AFCI dependent upon code cycle.Make sure the plumber double checks backflow and anti scald codes.
