First investment rental property

I have recently graduated college and thanks to to all of the great people on here I am convinced real estate is the answer to a better life for me, meaning I could live comfortably from rental income when I have around 10 properties. I would like to start out by purchasing a single family home in the 100k-120k price range. As of now I am trying to save around $20k for a down-payment on a house in this price range. I am 25% of the way there and I feel that in a year I will have saved enough to place a down-payment. I have found a 3 bedroom home which is about 8 minutes from Cornell University and close to other schools. The seller is asking for $110k. I dont know the condition of the house but from the pictures it looks like it is in good condition. Three bedrooms homes rent for around $1500 a month in Ithaca, so that is the number I think I will be able to rent it out for. Because of a very large college student population the area has a vacancy rate of close to 0%. Below are some numbers I quickly estimated to see if this is a good investment. I realize that the property is going to be sold by the time I have enough saved to put a down-payment but I am just doing my research for now and trying to become good at analysis.  What do you guys think?. Is this a good investment?. Also is it accurate to assume that as a first time home buyer I will need to put down 20%?. I wish i could provide more information, but this is all I have as of now. Thank you all and I look forward to getting advice on this investment and any type of rental property advice!
