Crunching the numbers

I am going to the bank to get pre approved for my 4th loan.  I am looking at a duplex in South Carolina.  List price is $169K (reduced 10K last month) with one side rented at $900/month (2bed 1.5 bath). Other side is the same and would rent for the same amount.  The property last sold for $85k in 99.  It has been listed for 60 days. The owner is out of state I am considering offering $120K to make my net each month around $1200.  I am assuming this with a traditional loan with 20% down.  Please let me know what everyone thinks.

    Do you not pay taxes and insurance? Not sure how you came up with 1200 net if gross is 1800, mortgage is 485. You've got 115/month to pay for everything else? Might want to revisit your figures
