You will run into the following: independent nurseries, people doing work on their yard and trying to unload their plants, really cheap potted plants from people who are unable to care for their plants anymore. 

They would be the ones to ask about the summit they are hopefully having :) Trying to stir the pot for sure!

If a 5 acre field had a pot of gold in the middle, and the field was covered in land mines, but you had a map that FOR SURE showed the location of every single mine, you'd go after that gold, wouldn't you?  

I happen to believe finding people through the net is harder than it seems because people have an inherent need to do business face to face.  

So I thought you guys might have a suggestion on how I can help her find a buyer (thereby adding to my investment capital pot through my commission, and adding to my experience of working with investors.) 

Getting parents to co-sign is another safety net I would like to try. 

Most make $15-20k a flip (net) I would say they are averaging 6 flips on low end, 12 on high. lets do some math:6 flips x 15k = 90k12 flips x 20k = 240kNow these are just guys I know and just in my market and averages, but still none of them are coming close to 300k a year. to your original point: flippers and realtors are different jobs, the best person at ANY profession is going to make a ton of money.

So, your net is less than $2k.

Flowers are nice but for your purposes - for any flip - shrubs, trees and groundcovers are probably better and flowers are just for pots)

@Travis Silva  Keeping a property with negative cash flow in the hopes of future unknown appreciation making it all worthwhile, is exactly like the person who plays craps at Vegas....the house takes a cut of the action, the players overall will lose money, with a few who will win. overall net is a loss to the player, obviously.
