You dont flip a snake, you flip a house. You buy, sell, or trade a snake. And so what, if you were looking at houses to buy, do you really care whether the owner was living in the house for 30 years or just bought it last month to fix up and flip? If its a good house for a good price you buy it, if not you dont. Free market people. These anti-flipper people should go work in the white house where they can demonize snake flippers along with those evil insurance companies lol
