Cash Flow Number That is Your Sweet Spot

Hey RE Investors, quick question, how much cash flow do you typically look for per month for a rental investment?  $300 p/month, $600 p/month or more?  For a typical townhouse where rents are $1400 per month not multi family.  

Thanks,

    @Rob Shah I like to focus on the cash on cash return as opposed to a dollar per door metric. I also like to look at return on equity, and I do my best to gauge how much my total return every year is including appreciation.
