Does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) with their first home flip?

I've been playing around with the idea of buying an investment property to flip, but I'd love to hear others' experiences first... I'm sure it's NOT as easy as it looks like on HGTV 😬

A few specific questions

are you primarily a real estate investor/house flipper, or did you have a primary job at the time? I work as a teacher so I do have a full time job that takes my attention except for in the summer
What sort of funding did you secure for your first flip before you built up a reserve?
Do you have any experience living in a flipped home while it's being fixed up?

TIA!!!
