Chime in with any other categories you'd like to know or add your own flipping tales of wonder/horror stories.

I just want to know how you keep track of this stuff?

I mean this in the best possible way. You're ******* insane for keeping track of all this stuff. I think I would go crazy trying to keep track of all of my own market activity, but it's super interesting to look at so thanks for sharing. I think what's most surprising to me is seeing all of those stadiums up there in the most times flipped. Were they really profitable earlier in the year?
