She bought a house from an elderly Oklahoma woman for $30,000 in August of 1993, then sold it for $145,000 3 months later. She either took advantage of the woman, or flipped a property which was it?

Yeah, but if you convert those dollars to wampum, which is the currency that Warren surely deals in, she probably only broke even.

It was 5 months actually.
She helped her family buy a decrepit property (not a foreclosure by the way) and remodel it for resale. Even in 1993 you couldn't do that level of extensive renovations on an entire house with a small profit and expect anything less. Who knows if she even made any money.

Maybe you should read the story, cause that's not what the family is saying about this particular house, one of many she was involved in either purchasing herself or lending the money to her brother or sister in-law on multiple occasions

For a Republican to do such a thing it would be heralded as great business sense!!! if it was commented negatively from liberals we would be accused of Hating successful people
But when the shoes is on someone else's foot they find a conscious.. and are outraged

She criticizes people for doing that which she has done. It's OK for her to get rich off the backs of college students, but she attacks banks for doing the same thing. You see nothing a wee bit hypocritical there?

Is it hypocritical for a Democrat to accumulate wealth?
Why do you think her wealth was from wages at colleges?
She has written 11 books
Did she make students go to college?
In 2009, The Boston Globe named her the Bostonian of the Year[28] and the Women's Bar Association of Massachusetts honored her with the Lelia J. Robinson Award.[134] She was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009, 2010 and 2015.[135] The National Law Journal repeatedly has named Warren as one of the Fifty Most Influential Women Attorneys in America,[136] and in 2010 it honored her as one of the 40 most influential attorneys of the decade.[137] In 2011, Warren was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.[138] In January 2012, Warren was named one of the "top 20 US progressives" by the British New Statesman magazine.[106]
In 2009, Warren became the first professor in Harvard's history to win the law school's The Sacks–Freund Teaching Award for a second time.[139] In 2011, she delivered the commencement address at the Rutgers Law School in Newark, her alma mater, and obtained an honorary Doctor of Laws degree and membership in the Order of the Coif.[140]
In 2018, the Women's History Month theme in the United States was "Nevertheless, She Persisted: Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination against Women", referring to Mitch McConnell's "Nevertheless, she persisted" remark about Warren.
Of course she's persisting so that is why you are losing your mind about her.
