How much to make per rental

Is there a general number you should make in cash flow, like a percentage? I am not really focusing on the brrr method instead I am just looking to buy properties to rent them out without looking my tail on them.

What percentage do you want to put towards emergency funds and how much would you want in cash flow.

Of course all of this is on top of the common expenses such as the PITI.

Percent is not a good way to look at it unless you are looking at it as a percent of how much you invested (ie down payment).  Even then you want a certain buffer and for lower priced homes, you'd want a higher dollar amount to cover yourself.
