What to do with confusing info...

Ok, maybe someone can help me understand what's going on here. I saw a multi-family property in a nearby area that I thought looked interesting.

Details:

List Price: 259.9k

6 1/1 units

all recently upgraded with new paint, granite counters, etc.

I asked for financials and the RE agent has been very helpful contacting the seller, but what he is sending makes no sense to me.

1st attemp:
2013
Avg Monthly Rev $3,600.00 $43,200.00
Avg Monthly Exp $2,500.00 $30,000.00
Avg Monthly Pos Cash Flow $1,100.00 $13,200.00
2014
Avg Monthly Rev $3,854.00 $46,248.00
Avg Monthly Exp $2,300.00 $27,600.00
Avg Monthly Pos Cash Flow $1,545.00 $18,540.00
Then came the projection for 2015
2015 projected numbers:
Operating Income - $45,360.00
Operating Expenses-$16,000.00
Taxes - $8,000.00
Net Income - $21360.00
I was asking how the expenses keep going down. I wanted to know what was going into the calculations. I'm kind of a numbers guy. I just got this:
Property tax (575.00 monthly) $575.00 $6,900.00
Insurance (370.00 monthly) $370.00 $4,440.00
Maintenance/Prep ($267.00) $267.00 $3,204.00
Lawncare $85.00 $1,020.00
Nat Gas $23.00 $276.00
Extermination $17.00 $204.00
City Fees $6.00 $72.00
$1,343.00 $16,116.00

Aside from the fact that the info is inconsistent, what should I be asking about? On the surface, it seemed like a good deal for the price.
