        "text": "There isn't a universally 'good' cash flow margin, as it depends on individual investment goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. However, many investors aim for a cash-on-cash return of 8-12% or more, which is directly influenced by positive cash flow. A common rule of thumb is to seek properties with at least $100-$200 of positive cash flow per month after all expenses. This helps define a critical decision factor for profitability, ensuring the property covers its costs and provides a buffer for unexpected expenses.",
