How much cashflow or flipping profits do you keep?

[Kyle Davis]

This is a two part question, I'm curious to know how both buy and hold and flippers distribute their cash flow or profits to themselves.

Scenario #1: Your a house flipper, you finish a project and profit $30,000.  Of that $30,000, how much do pull out to 'keep to pay yourself'?  Do you take the entire profit as 'income'?  Do you take say $15,000 in 'income' and leave the other $15,000 in the bank to help invest in the new flip? 

Scenario #2: Your a buy and hold investor, you cashflow on a property $500/mo.  Of that $500, how much do you provide to yourself as 'income' vs. keeping it in the bank or invested back to your business.  I.E. will you pay yourself say $250/mo. and then leave $250/mo. in the bank to account for potential repairs, capital for new investments etc.?  

Thanks!
