Did you LOSE or MAKE money on your first flip?

[Joshua D.]

It often gets quoted that "most people lose money on their first flip". Is this actually true? Or are we just saying that?  

Now I realize asking active BP members might not be the most objective pole, I should also ask the ones who have given up because they lost money, but this is what we got. 

So how bout it? Did you lose on your first one? How bad/good did you do?
