Or even two? In order to avoid taxes. Just saw a guy in San Diego doing that. He'd been flipping over a slower interval - 2 year flips - but with higher ticket properties and more extensive renos; and, of course, riding the wave up. So I don't know if the 9 month thing is hard and fast.<br/>Plus, the investment side often is made up of non-flippers. I know some of those folks. They're not having a lot of fun right now.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('7798','aetakeo',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('7798','aetakeo','I\'ve watched that car-crash in slow motion show, \"flip this house\"; and the flippers sometimes live in the house for a year?

When I looked at The Greenlake a few years ago, they touted the number of 'investors' that had interest in the building. I'm guessing, like in other cities, there are many 'investors' in these condo developments.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('7781','Towelie McTowel',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('7781','Towelie McTowel','These numbers also don\'t count all the condo \'investors\' in Ballard and downtown that plan to sell when the project completes.
