Jon, bone up on your grammer first.

I am just trying to get a feel for how much meat should be on the bone to use to service the note and have some net profit at the end of the day to sock back for problems as well as some measure of profit.

In those circumstances, the dollar/percentage amount would be whatever amount you can negotiate with your Wholesaler, who in turn will take into account how much meat is left on the bone for them, because they of course still have to leave plenty on meat on the bone for THEIR Buyer (and so on).

Last week I threw him a bone on a nice property for $30k that had been on the market for $137k.

This does not mean that they should be skinning the meat off the kill and sending you the bones, I mean wholesalers need to be trying to get the highest price possible, while still leaving a deal for the buyers. 

@Mike McKinzie  is right - you'd be better off buying T-bills (although I'd go for t-bone myself - enjoy it a little more)It's just math, y'all...lol - I said that "y'all" with a thick Russian accent

The basement was bone dry during my last visit but it has been raining a LOT ever since. 

Now it was not that much meat on the bone fyi.

Sub2 leads are often thrown away by the wholesalers who need to pick cherry pick out the deals in their lists which have more than 30% equity or meat on the bone so they can wholesale to their Re-habbers .

The house is trashed and contractors I've had over there estimate 25-30k in repairs (new roof, new AC in and out) to make it a bare bones rent house, nothing fancy.
