Acceptable Cash Flow
I am curious how much cash flow per month is acceptable to you guys on a typical single family home.
It probably various depending on area but I was wondering if most of you had a cut off. For example is 100/mo sufficient or not? What is worth it, etc?
I would take $100-$200 monthly as cash flow… Its not a lot but add in depreciation, business tax-writeoffs and everything and its worth it! It’s a matter of personal preferences as to how much you want your property to cash flow! Just remember - if you don't have a renter, you have Negative cash flow!
Good Luck!

I believe alot of people in here have different view s on what "cash flow" is. Is this after deducting for utilities, estimated maintenance, reserves for replacement, vacancy, taxes, insurance, property management? If so, and its a in a decent neighborhood without any deferred maintenance and has current tenants with good history, I'd take it.

I am sorry I guess I was not to specific. I was considering cash flow the money you can acutally put in your pocket after all expenses have been paid: insurance, taxes, etc.
Thanks for your reply

I'm with Matty--look for a minimum of $100/mo positive cash flow (after all
expenses and including a small amount
put aside each month for contingencies).
My cash flow figure was pure cash flow - after all expenses!! I would like to see at least $100/mo in cash flow after everything else was paid for that property!
Just a clarification!
