Not sure if flipping is worth it but flopping, on the other hand, is a win-win-win for the seller, buyer, and realt-whore:

Speaking of Austin and Flopping, I know of one example recently

Look at the price history. Cleaned up like a mother.

BUT! I think flipping and flopping is both good since this $$$ finds its way into the economy and people buy lunch meats and bacon and the guy selling the lunch meats an bacons goes out an buys a car and the car salesman goes out and buys a baseball glove or radio etc.

Bacon-dog carts? Man those smell good after a night of bar hopping. Never had one though - afraid it would stop my heart. My skinny GF will get one once in a while.

In a short sale, the seller gives up some of their "say" in transaction, correct? It seems like risky business if there are other potential buyers but I suppose you can always back out if it's not going your way.
As a short seller, how can you be sure that you are selling to your desired buyer?

Huzzah!
