Most of these sales seemed to occur in the middle 1990's, not exactly a down economy.

I love lines like this...

18% WHAT A MARGIN!!! And after expenses did it even turn a profit? That's not flipping...

lol, capitalism.

Its completely hilarious to see born and bred republicans crying about someone flipping foreclosed homes.

Its like you guys actually care about those who lost their homes now AFTER you pretty much spent time blaming them for being foreclosed on and taking out loans they can't afford. Amazing.

Not all did - there was ups and downs and the economy wavered.

Yep - its Bush' fault.

Spence, you're saying that a profit margin of 18% is not high enough to get upset about? OK...so why do liberals incessantly attack health insurance companies, whose industry profit margins average about 5%, which is on the low side for American businesses?

Gross margin not net. Nobody in their right mind would buy a house to flip if all they thought they'd make was 18% before expenses.
