Let's talk about profit first. Profit is the only reason most people enter this business. The days are long and the work is hard. This is certainly not the kind of job you would normally undertake for the simple love of getting your hands dirty. This is real work that will get you tired at the end of the day. However, when all the work is done and you get down to business, you will find that the profit that comes with a successful flip is well worth the effort you put into the process.
