How much capital should be retained?

For a passive portfolio what amount of capital expense do you set aside?  Do you do a set amount per unit or do you just do a general fund?  If you do a bulk fund what is the set amount you use?

It all depends on the condition of the properties in your portfolio, kind of properties, if you are expecting bigger repairs in the near future or not. Also, your personal finance and liquidity plays a key role as well.
