No doubt lots of them want to improve a property and make a living while doing so--nothing wrong there. As for flippers providing a benefit to humanity--I personally think that's reaching. Of the flippers I know, money is the motivating force, not an overwhelming need to selflessly serve humanity. To my way of thinking, "increasing the net worth" of anything never directly correlates with improving the human condition--unless you mean the individual humans that profit from that increase. Hope you find a deal at the next auction. Still lots of eye-sores needing improvement. Thanks for your comment, Rick Hey Kaare,

Not everyone considers this benifit to humanity as greedy. And this natural capitalistic flow would still be moving if the fianacial institution managers managed. Now there was greed in the first degree that we'll all paying for now. See you at the next foreclosure auction.
