Unfortunately, the flipper had to put the home back on the market, and it took another five months to sell. The flipper had to pay an additional five months’ worth of mortgage payments, property taxes, and homeowner’s insurance premiums.

You’ve probably spent many hours becoming skilled and developing specialized knowledge in your own profession. An outsider might look at what you do for a living and think it’s easy. But you know it’s not. The same goes for working as a real estate agent.
