Even though some deals I made $10K, but I'd like to say it is totally not worth it, the stress(From HML and fear of losing money) and time I invested(few hundred hours in managing each project), $10K is really too little in a project, at least a Flip Project should make $50K, otherwise it is totally not worth it.
