Flipping cars is small potatoes.
Sorry but I gotta disagree. As a matter of fact, I think this statement is dumb as shit. I know people personally who does this on the side and make 30k plus per month (in profits) just as an hobby. And ofcourse the people who take it to the next level by scaling and opening a car lot (or more) make the big bucks.
I was making about 2-3k in profits per car (average) when I did it in college. And that was only from selling ONE car in about a 7 day period, with about 2 hours of work. (I know that is small change but for 2 hours of work, ill take 2k/week anyday). Plus, there was also the perk of driving a different car to class every week. Girls loved it and guys envied me, lol. College days, gotta love it!
But seriously though, once you begin to scale, thats where the real money comes in. Plus, even if you fail, flipping cars is a great way to becoming a skilled sales person. The education behind it is surreal. Negotiating and pitching to potential customers. I always looked forward to the challenge. Helped me out a lot when doing other businesses. Great learning experience. I can sell water to a well, fire in hell, and ice in the winter.
Edit: A month and a half ago I bought a 03 BMW z4 for $6,700 (Owner wanted 10k for it), I sold it a month later for $11k. Thats a $4300 profit and I only had it on the market for 5 days since i was busy enjoying it for the hot summer days. Just had to throw that in there to offer a real world perspective.
