Is My Math Accurate? Houston Deal Anaylsis

Hello BP Community

I found a deal and contacted the wholesaler who had the property under contract. He provided me with the property breakdown and utility costs. The lead consists of two properties being sold as a package.  Property A is a duplex with a single family home and property B lot consists of a triplex with a garage that has two efficiency units. What I'm questioning is if the numbers check out and the property is in a Class D neighborhood according to the city would this still make a good deal. Also I'm not sure if I may have left something out of my calculations or if I should take anything else into account. My end goal is to have properties that generate minimum $200 cash flow a month.

Please let me know your thoughts, I'm not sure if I'm missing something in my calculations. Also I calculated the numbers below based on a loan term for a package deal. Is it possible to get a loan term with a lender that covers multiple properties sold together as a package?
