When she’s not looking out for the little guy being taken advantageof by predatory lenders, Elizabeth Warren is making high-interest, short-term loans to family members and flipping homes for a profit. That’sthe revelation in a story published today by the Boston Herald,which identifies nine instances when Warren made a quick profit eitherbuying and reselling homes or loaning money to family members to fliphomes in the late 90s.

For instance, in 1993 Warren purchased a foreclosed home in OklahomaCity for $61,000. She resold the home 18 months later for $95,000. In several more cases, Warren provided loans so that her brother could buyhomes and flip them. In 2000, she reportedly gave her brother a loan with9.5 percent interest so he could buy a home for $35,000. He sold the home three months later for a 10 percent profit.

Flipping homes was a profitable investment for the Warren family,

The Empress in waiting proclaimed that Donald wanted to make money on a bad housing market.
As usual, the rules are ALWAYS different for lunatic liberal Democrats. It never fails. It’s sickening.

The sad thing about this story is - Granny Warren isn’t even good at flipping houses. Big deal, she made 20k here, 15k there. That is nothing in real estate.

Hillary did much better with her cattle futures.

I wonder if she put any “sweat equity” into them.

That’s what I was thinking. Buy for $61,000 and sell for $95,000 a year and a half later? If they invested any money in fixing it up then it wasn’t a wildly successful flip. And her brother making 10% on a 35,000 property is making only $3500.

Not very good at it.

And he’s paying almost 10 percent interest.

How is that making money?

Even more fishy.

I find her highly annoying... and it is amazing that this woman can get elected to anything.

However, buying and selling (”flipping”) properties is perfectly legal and I don’t see anything wrong with that ....

As much as I can’t stand her politics in general, at least she has the guts to go after the corrupt Mega-Banksters who have a majority of our politicians perpetually in their pockets. Which is something I credit her for, and I wish I could say the same about a whole lot of self-described elected “conservatives” wearing the “R” label...

“And her brother making 10% on a 35,000 property is making only $3500”

And that was probably before Granny “Clampett” Warren collected her 9.5% wampum
