Cash flow question for newbie

Good morning BP! When someone says their house is cash flowing for 200$ a month can we assume that number is calculated after money has already been set aside for reserves? Thanks!

This is how the investor **should** be calculating monthly cash flow. But I would NOT assume this is what they are actually doing. Many buy-and-hold investors project capital expenditures and set these funds aside monthly. I'm sure many do not, though.
