I could barely change a light-bulb a year ago (okay, I still pretty much can't :).Given our trajectory, we expect to double those numbers this year pretty easily, and in 4-5 years, hopefully we're making a good bit more than that.So, I think I'm a good example of the fact that it's really not that difficult to make good money flipping houses if you have strong plan and can execute on it...in fact, my average work week was about 20-30 hours this past year...
