Many years ago I envied a guy we worked with who seemed to have unlimited funds to buy & complete nice rehabs.He then bought a piece of junk two doors down from a Burger King & 2 years after losing his shirt on renting it to students Burger King wanted to expand their parking lot/drive thru & they were offered 3x what they paid.Then the funding guy was revealed to be the current wife's ex husband & when they denied him a bigger piece of the action he blew them into the IRS as nothing was being recorded or submitted on their respective tax rerturns.They arrived home one night to find the investigator (they kept blowing off) waiting in the driveway of their beautiful expensive new build.They certainly got rich quick but lost it & the home to Taxes & penalties.That guy was our maintenance Janitor & he had to keep working until he was 65.
