There's the loophle needed to carry on with house scalping. Create and level a FC, buy a plot, claim you're charging for time/gil invested into the company.
It does take quite a bit of time and effort to level the FC to that point, though, even if one doesn't do anything else with it (such as unlocking the workshop, etc).
I think it's also important to realize that the majority of people who are flipping houses, at least as far as I've seen, have been people who bought the house as a personal house. I'd bet actual money that there wasn't a single FC pre-3.3 that was used to buy a house at the 3.3 housing rush for the purpose of selling the FC and the house.
