Expenses that a newbies might not expect

I am straight out of college and interested in purchasing my first rental property within the year. I was wondering what expenses do I need to expect? I know some of the more obvious ones such as mortgage, insurance, taxes, advertising, and repairs/maintenance but what other expenses might a new investor not be expecting?

Vacancy.

Most people underestimate it. Can you afford the mortgage if you go 1-2 months without a tenant?
