How much $ to get $5,000 cash flow?

[Account Closed]

I now its a loaded question with probably a thousand answers, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on how much it would cost and what types of investments you would recommend to get about $5,000 monthly cash flow. It would be leveraged, so I'd like to clear $5k after ALL expenses including debt service. What are your thoughts?
