Flipping Success

I wanted to share my first flip success story with everyone. The ROI was 44%. I think the key here was that the property was purchased from a motivated seller (lost job) which led to the great ROI. I've read and heard time and time again (thank you Bigger Pockets) that you make your money when you buy. This proves that saying to be true.
