I think that your cash flow figures are based on the fact that you have no mortgage on your properties so your net cash flow is much higher, however, for the sake of apples to apples comparison to those who do need to use leverage, your cash flow would be much less.If you pay $40k per property including rehab, you will have invested $200k in cash.
