The word "Flip" denies the amount of hard work and sacrifice I put in.
I use the word Hump. I plan an itinerary. I get up early. I pack the kids (or if my partner is going somewhere else, I pack one kid). I go out and hustle all over the place. I talk to people. I listen to the sob stories of widows. I make bottles and change diapers. I nod as people tell me things that are flatly untrue. Then I take the shit home, sort it, clean it, sort it, price it, store it. And that is just the process of obtaining the stuff. Selling requires me to advertise, load the trucks/trailers/cars, unload, arrange it and deal with people all day. Then I have to box up the leftovers, load up, drive home and unload it again.
So if that is what flipping is, then yeah.
I feel for you kids. What a “fun” day with daddy...
