I wouldn't recommend that anyone copy my path any more than I think you should convert to my brand of religion.

I live north of NYC these days and let me share with you that there is a populous group of European descended people who avoid taxes on religious grounds by declaring everything a religious institution, study religion while on welfare rather than working and having as many as 12 children per family.

But I have noticed that some entreprenuers (no one in this thread) can turn the ideas in the book into a religion of sorts. 

They are not a protected class.Here are your protected classes per federal law:The FHA, to date, includes seven protected classes: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status.http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/the-fair-ho...Colorado's list of protected classes is:Protected classes in housing include: Race, Color, Religion, Creed, National Origin/Ancestry, Sex, Disability/Handicap, Sexual Orientation (including Transgender Status), Marital Status, and Familial Status (children under the age of 18 in the household).https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/civil-rights... 

yes. discrimination is based on race, religion, sex, age etc. 

., Police Code § 3304Actual or perceived race, color, ancestry, national origin, place of birth, sex, age, religion, creed, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, source of income, weight, or height S.F.

Bad tenants come in all shapes, color and religion

So trust it.The reason to have a long list of what seem like weird, eccentric criteria like mine, is because as long as they are legal criteria (which is anything except for race, religion, etc.) and you have this criteria in writing in case you get sued (I used to email my criteria list to myself when I added something new to it, to prove when it was established), then you can easily deny someone legally.If you have a legal list of criteria, which you can point to, you can act with confidence and without fear.Just remember that you can discriminate for a million and one things. 

And there is a ton of religion. 

I say, first, fire your PM.Next, it's perfectly legal to advertise that you want a particular type of tenant as long as you don't violate the protected classes.So, as long as you don't care what color or religion, etc., a professional commuter is, it's legal to say you want to rent to one.Remember, you just can't discriminate against people on the protected class list.
