Does maintenance reserve count towards your cash flow?

Hey BP,

Just curious to know what everyone's opinions were on the cash flow situation. Do you count the maintenance reserve (I budget about 10%) as cash flow? I see a lot of articles where people are talking about cash flows of $400 or better. I just wasn't sure if they were including the maintenance reserve as cash flow. I personally refer to it as an expense that will be put away and not touched until needed. $400 seems a little unrealistic for a lot of situations IMO..

Thanks!
