Once an FC house is bought you only need one FC member to keep it and that member can be any level. One thing that appears to be happening is the flippers buy an FC house using a main and alts. They then invite the player purchasing he house to the FC and then drop out. If nobody buys the FC right away they are also known to transfer it to a lvl 1 character who would do the invite and transfer later when it sells.

The only way to stop flipping is to create an unlimited supply of houses. This would undercut the demand that flippers exploit.
