Perhaps this is one reason why Lizzy is not taking on Hillary. She cannot engage in this activity while in the WH. Well she can't but maybe the Clinton's could
Last week, Eliana Johnson and Jillian Kay Melchior at National Review uncovered something interesting about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA); she made tens of thousands of dollars flipping houses (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/418907/elizabeth-warren-bought-foreclosed-homes-make-quick-profit-jillian-kay-melchior?target=author&tid=903221). Yet, she wrote in her 2014 autobiography, “everyone seemed to have a story about someone they knew who was getting rich by flipping houses” when touching upon the events leading up to the 2008 financial meltdown. She apparently omitted her flipping houses prowess that is shown pervasively on HGTV [emphasis mine]:
Nearly two years after Veo Vessels died, her daughter, 70-year-old Mary Frances Hickman, decided to sell the home her mother had left to her. A sprawling brick house in Oklahoma City’s historic Highland Park neighborhood, it was built in 1924, just a year after Mary’s birth. Decades later, one of Vessels’ great-grandchildren fondly recalls the wood and tile floors, the fish pond, the butler’s quarters, and the multi-car garage where children played house.
“It was really, really nice,” says Hickman’s granddaughter, Andrea Martin. That’s part of the reason she’s so surprised her grandmother sold the home in 1993 for a mere $30,000. Despite a debilitating stroke, Martin says Hickman remained sharp, and she had always been business-savvy. As an Avon saleswoman, she had at times ranked among the top ten in the country. “So I don’t know why,” Martin says. “Maybe she just wanted out from underneath it, but to sell it for such a low number — I don’t know. Maybe she got bad advice, maybe she was just tired.” The home’s new owner: Elizabeth Warren, today a Massachusetts senator who has built a political career on denouncing the sort of banking titans and financial sophisticates who make a buck off the little guy. Five months after purchasing Veo Vessels’ old home, Warren flipped the property, selling it for $115,000 more than she’d paid, according to Oklahoma County Property Assessor records.
