My clients once they come on board with us generally will flip 5 to 40 homes a year.. pretty hard to do more than about 3 or 4 a month but I have a client in KC that does at least 30 to 40 with me and I know he has another lender.. the difference with a company like ours that is a capital partner your paying a touch more for the service but once its going its ALL our money and then the partners work.
