There was a study done that showed someone who flipped houses 3 times in the last 10 years made very little after all the fees.
I think that alot of people think that is really easy to flip houses and make tons of money, but I know people wh have actually lost money trying to flip properties.. one person I know who sold a property for 50k more than what they paid within a couple years, but in the end only made around 10k due to carrying costs, realty fees, etc...
